On a Saturday afternoon in the waters between Puerto Vallarta and Long Beach, a male passenger aboard the Carnival Panorama made a final, irreversible choice — and the sea swallowed him. What followed was the ancient, urgent ritual of those left behind: the turning of a great ship, the scanning of faces, the calling out of names. The ocean does not pause for grief, and neither could the voyage, which pressed on toward port while coast guards from two nations searched the waters for a man who had stepped beyond the reach of the ordinary world.
