The boat slips away from Lovina’s black-sand shore before dawn; the sea breathes cool and flat, and the first silhouettes are not trees but fins. Dawn here is a quiet negotiation between sky and water—dolphins breaking the surface like bright punctuation, the mountains of central Bali still shrouded in mist.
