Morning light slices across the Mediterranean as the skipper lines the bow at Libeccio pier and the town of Alghero recedes. The boat slips into water clear enough to read the seabed; cliffs of Capo Caccia loom like white cliffs shaped by wind and salt, and the island of Foradada waits with its heart-punched sea cave.
