The wind picks up as the sail fills and Lisbon slides aft—stone façades, the rust-red span of the 25 de Abril bridge, and the squat silhouette of Cristo Rei all shift into a new frame from the river. You leave from the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, glide past Praça do Comércio and Alfama, and continue out toward the Tagus mouth where the estuary opens to the Atlantic and the coastline points to Cascais.
