The boat slips away from Marina Grande and the island reshapes itself—sudden cliffs, cobalt drops, and gnarled rock faces that seem to dare you closer. The captain eases the throttle and the hull threads a path past the Faraglioni, where sea and stone argue over the horizon and the water pushes at the bow with a bright, saline insistence.
