A morning fog peels off the bay and the limestone karsts stand like weathered pillars daring you to come closer. You push a canoe through a narrow throat of water, the paddle whispering while the cliffs redirect wind into small, sudden gusts; sunlight finds the vertical faces in slices and the sea answers with a bright, quick clap.
