The motorboat cuts loose from the mangrove-lined shoreline and the sea opens into a palette of turquoise—small islands appear like raised plates of coral and sand, each with its own personality. You skim past Apid and Digyo on a rolling tour, then drop anchor off Mahaba where a white sandbar stretches like a comma into the water. Salt and sun press at the edges of the day; the current nudges your bow toward shallow reefs brimming with color.
