Home Turks and Caicos Islands
2/6/2008
The Turks and Caicos Islands are a group of islands between the
southern Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. Vicky used to live in
Providenciales from age 18 to age 20 and she was excited to see how it had
changed. Boy had it changed. It evolved from a Mom and Pop island to
a sophisticated tourist destination, specifically catering to the wealthier
tourist. Four lane highways had replaced dirt roads and massive condos had
sprung up over the whole island.
We anchored in Sapodilla Bay which was on the southern side of
Provo and a 3 mile bicycle ride away. We spent many days sunning on the
beautiful Sapodilla Bay beach, and catching up with friends.

This was in Turtle Cove at a place called Tiki Hut, which Vicky used to frequent
back in the day. |

This is a shot of Sapodilla Bay and Windfreaks anchorage at sunset. The
anchorage had good holding but was very rolly on windy days, as can be seen in
this photo. |

Vicky and David at the dueling ipod party on
Allergic to Cities (tm), the Manta
catamaran from Colorado. We had a blast at this party and fell in with a
wonderful group of sailors. The Catamaran had plenty of room in its
cockpit for everyone to dance the night away. There was even some pole
dancing going on. :) |
