Morning light slices between limestone fingers as Karma II eases out of Lagos Marina, bow loungers catching the sun while the crew trims lines and pours the first glass. The town’s riverfront slips astern and the cliffs of Ponta da Piedade push the horizon into jagged silhouettes; caves and arches invite closer inspection and the sea dares you to lean over the rail.
