You push off from the Old Red Dutch Windmill, the hum of the e-bike under your feet and warm trade winds pressing from the northeast. Palm-shaded canals of Bubali blink past as the guide steers the group toward wide white sand at Eagle Beach, then eastward along coastal shoulders where waves dare you to look away.
