The speedboat slips away from Rovinj’s sun-bright harbor as the Adriatic loosens its heat into a long, cool breath. Shoreline rock and red-tiled roofs recede; the skipper eases through glassy water while gulls wheel like punctuation marks above. Dolphins often arrive as evening light softens—curious, quick, and impossibly close—cutting arcs through the sea that dare you to keep pace.
