West Coast of Providenciales
Wonderful reef, both natural and artificial, for snorkelling. Nothing ashore except an exclusive all-inclusive, and a beautiful beach.
By Location
Bay Cay, off Providenciales
Small pretty island, interesting geology. Friendly rock iguanas. Not much shelter for sailors.
Cockburn Harbour, South Caicos
We enjoyed ourselves here, even if shopping wasn’t as easy as the chartbook suggested. Short post, many photos.
Long Cay, off South Caicos
A beautiful anchorage, situated between an uninhabited island (Long Cay) and a shallow reef. We explored both.
Salt Cay
Difficult to find a sandy spot to anchor in. Looked beautiful. But the kids were too tired to explore and the weather was due to get worse, so we didn’t explore ashore much.
Gibbs Cay
We got to swim with stingrays just off an uninhabited island. Enough said really – spectacular place, we wish we had stayed longer.
Cockburn Town, Grand Turk
Clear water, plenty of space to anchor between the coral heads. We spent a few days here, particularly enjoying the museum.
South Port, Grand Turk
Anchored here to check-in to Turks and Caicos at the comercial dock. Despite some challenges, enjoyed a walk around the beautiful salt pond nearby.
Samaná, Dominican Republic to South Port, Grand Turk
Slow but wonderful sail for our first passage in a year! Caught a Mahi Mahi (yum), and saw a whale breaching repeatedly on the way out of Samana. Great trip.
Samaná – a year at rest
A long post, with many many photos, written at the end of our year in Samana.
