You push off as the harbour quiets, the engine a soft promise while limestone cliffs loom like weathered guards. The boat slips past Keri Caves — sunlight fractures through cave mouths and the water dares you to dive. Turtles glide under the hull with the casual certainty of creatures that know these bays better than any map.
