The Ambrose slips away from Bai Chay with the city falling to a line of roofs behind you; limestone towers rise like silent islands daring you to come closer. Salted wind pushes the cruise forward as teak decks warm underfoot and the bay opens into a scatter of green-topped karsts and quiet channels.
