The sun slides low over the Adriatic and the Old Town's stone faces glow orange as your boat slips away from the harbor. On deck, the breeze plays against the rigging, champagne cool in hand, while the skipper eases the sails and points the bow toward the Zadar Channel. City lights wake one by one; the Sea Organ murmurs beneath the quay and the Greeting to the Sun throws shifting color at your stern.
