The boat slips away from Pula’s stone quay as the sun leans toward the western horizon, the harbor’s hard edges softened by late light. Salt and diesel mix in the air while passengers lean over the rail; a dorsal fin slices the water and dolphins appear, playful and confident, racing the bow and riding its wake.
