Morning light slices across Tam Giang – Cau Hai Lagoon as you climb aboard a local fishing skiff; the boat rocks like a living thing, nets sighing as fishermen haul in the day’s catch. That first hour sets the tone: close contact with working water, mangrove edges, and a lagoon that pushes and pulls with river-fed tides.
