A low-slung boat slips out of Tulcea port at first light, reeds brushing the hull as gulls quarrel overhead. The Camely moves deliberately through narrow channels where the current pushes you forward and the delta opens in stages — reed beds, willow fringes, then broad, glassy lakes dotted with floating islets.
