The morning light off Le Morne glances across a shallow lagoon, and the boat slips into a glassy blue that seems to know the routes of the local dolphins. Spinner dolphins often slice the surface here, leaping and spinning as if daring you to keep up. The captain cuts power, the sea calms, and the moment tightens: binoculars up, mask ready, breath held for a possible swim alongside these agile mammals.
