You step off the concrete pier and the harbor smells of diesel and salt; the boat waits with canvas flapping and a skipper already eyeing the weather. Within minutes the shoreline of Alghero slides away and the coast of Porto Conte unspools: limestone cliffs, hidden coves and water that goes from aquamarine to ink-blue as the depth changes.
