You push off from a low wooden jetty and the Bojo River takes the lead—water dark with tannins, fringed by mangrove roots that reach and test your attention like curious hands. The boat moves slow; kingfishers flick, mud crabs scuttle, and the guide points out the woven mats drying in the sun, an old craft still practiced in nearby villages.
