The morning light in Split peels off the sea in sheets of silver as you step aboard near Marina Zenta. The skipper trims sails and engines purr; the Adriatic draws you out, a blue companion that pushes and teases with every swell. By mid-morning the boat slips into water the color of old glass and Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) appears like a changing brushstroke, its pebble tongue shifting with wind and current.
