A warm trade wind lifts the minibus out of Bridgetown at first light and the coast unfurls like a running map: sugar-plain lowlands give way to limestone cliffs, then the Atlantic’s blue teeth at the island’s northern lip. Passengers slide windows down, taste salt on their lips, and watch the reef-shadowed shallows shift with the sun.
