A cold wind trims the harbor as the boat eases away from Tromsø's pier and the city shrinks into a smear of color against the fjord. On deck, local fishermen — quick-tongued, salt-dusted, jokingly called the 'pirates' — pass around rods and point at telltale ripples. Within minutes the horizon is all water and steep rock, and the only sounds are the engine, gulls, and the occasional shout when a line tightens.
