The boat cuts loose from Rovinj’s harbor as late afternoon light slants across the Adriatic, and the sea answers with flickers that promise company. In a speedboat you ride the swell, eyes on the wake and the horizon, trading the city’s cobbled calm for a marine rhythm where dolphins often arrive like punctuation—springs of silver arcing through the sunlit troughs.
