You push off into a narrow channel lined with coconut palms; the basket boat rocks like a gentle heartbeat as the boatman guides you through threaded waterways. The air smells of river mud and green fronds; nearby, the limestone bulk of Marble Mountains watches the coast, its caves and pagodas carved by wind and centuries of devotion.
