You push off from An Thoi harbor and the low, steady hum of the outboard recedes into open water; limestone islets spool past, gulls test the breeze, and the sea seems to dare you to try your luck. By mid-morning the boat drops anchor on the outer edge of May Rut island, where currents turn over reef flats and the water runs a clear, tropical blue.
