Providenciales

 

We are definitely getting to know the Sapodilla Bay area here in the Turks and Caicos Islands. We've been here for a week now and tomorrow the jump to the Dominican Republic begins. It's been a social time in the anchorage with much coming and going. Since this Bay is located out by the container port, we have to travel several miles to get into town. Luckily, most people who live in the nearby neighborhood will pick you up and give you a lift as far as they are going. Otherwise, almost any Haitian with a car will usually pull over and happily take you along for a few dollars.

 

We've visited the Grace Bay area where all the resorts are located and watched the large swell that has built up over the past week break on the offshore reef. Shopping for food was an experience. The IGA has a great selection of almost everything...for a price. I accidentally bought a $16 dollar sausage!

 

We celebrated Good Friday on the beach with a bonfire at sunset. It was fun to see the people on shore for a change. Some we had only heard on the radio, so it's interesting to put the face with the voice. Kevin from Windigo really made the night by arriving with marshmallows and graham crackers. Perfect for desert.
