The hull sighs as it leaves the quay and Lisbon slides back: azulejo facades give way to the low, industrial sweep of the Tagus mouth, then the open Atlantic. Wind fills the sails and the city’s stone edges soften, leaving room for salt, sun and a private stretch of sand where the only footprints are yours.
