The gangway creaks, the Atlantic breeze tugs your hat and the dockyard slips astern as the cruise moves toward Hamilton Harbour. The water dares you to look up from the deck bar — pastel storefronts and a low civic skyline slide into view — then the vessel eases into the city, leaving time to explore on foot.
