Under the Dock at Harbour Club

Posted on April 28, 2015 by marta

Anemones growing under the floating docks at Harbour Club’s Marina

A beautiful late afternoon spent lying on the docks taking photos of the marine life and world under our marina docks at Harbour Club Villas. Our guests had wandered down every evening of their stay and were coming back to tell me of all the sightings. I just had to see for myself.

Lying on the docks taking photos of the pale anemones with my reflection in the water.

Many pretty squirrel fish were darting around under the docks

The common blue crab was feeding on growths covering sturdy ropes laying in the water.

The beautiful neon yellows of the juvenile schoolmaster snapper.

Here’s some grunts, foureye butterfly fish and schoolmaster snapper.

Squirrel fish and schoolmaster snapper captured together

Love this photo of a little squirrel fish

Sea Anemone in pretty pink

Pretty but not sure what this is??

A fairly large barracuda kept prowling past.

Excitement when a guest spotted this octopus……..thanks Bryan for the photo.

Red-banded fanworm swaying with the currents.

Octopus trying to hide from Mike’s camera……what a beauty and changing colours.

An upside-down jellyfish.

I’m really amazed at all the marine life found down at the docks. Our guests at Harbour Club Villas love to wander down there in the evenings to discover all sorts of creatures, many birds, even sighting turtles and a four foot reef shark a few weeks ago.

The storm’s over

Posted on October 26, 2012 by marta

The calm after the storm, late afternoon sunshine streaks across the ocean.

The wind is still strongly blowing but the sun was out all day. Thankfully Sandy has moved away and we were left with just a little debris cleaning. This afternoon the sun peaked out between the clouds creating wonderful silvery streaks across the bay at Harbour Club Villas. Another day in paradise.

Anole Cocktail Hour

Posted on March 28, 2011 by marta

A sunset drink with our friendly little Anole Lizard

We went up on the hill overlooking our Marina at Harbour Club Villas for sunset cocktails and were joined by our friendly little Anole Lizard. He’s joined us before but I only managed to get one photo. Well this time he decided to stay a while and enjoyed licking the beads of moisture off my Corona beer.

A good close up of his little tongue licking the bottle.

He wasn't the least bit afraid as he sampled the cold beads of sweat on the bottle

He was pretty thirsty but it gave me a chance to get some good photos.

It was fun just sitting watching him as the sun started to set……….a great way to end a busy day!

Cheers!

Taylor Bay R & R

Posted on September 6, 2010 by marta

Arriving at Taylor Bay beach on Sunday........wow, the colours were so vibrant.

Sunday we motored over to Taylor Bay. There were ominous black clouds with thunder in the distance but we hadn’t been out for a while so that didn’t stop us. We were the only people there in the early afternoon too so we had the place to ourselves for a few hours.

Little Malaika loved playing on the beach after having been in Europe for the past six weeks.

The ominous black clouds just hovered over us but there was still lots of sunshine and no rain showers.

Barry has a late afternoon float in the shallows while looking out at the boat which was moored in three feet of water.

A kayaker waves at us as we head for home as the sun starts to set.

We were treated to an amazing sunset in the marina at Harbour Club Villas.

Sailboat “Lig” rides at anchor at our dock as the pink and orange after glow of the sunset lights up the skies.

Another perfect afternoon on the water. We hope you’ll be able to visit us soon and enjoy the beaches of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Queen Angelfish

Posted on June 3, 2010 by marta

The Queen Angelfish is one of the most beautiful and colourful fish found in the warm waters of the Turks and Caicos Islands

Such amazing colours….electric blue speckled with a bright canary yellow body, yellow tail , fins and a face that has blue highlights around the eyes and mouth. The Queen Angelfish stands out in a crowd because of all that colour but this too works perfectly so that this fish can hide and blend in with the surrounding vibrance of the coral reefs in our area.

Queen Angelfish have a speckled, blue ringed spot that loks like a crown

Queen Angelfish have a speckled, blue ringed spot that looks like a crown

The royal title comes from this distinctive marking. It is a blue circle on the top of its head, known as the “crown” that gives this fish its name.

This shy fish feeds on the sponges, algae and soft corals of the reef.

They are quite large for reef-dwellers and can grow up to 18 inches (45 centimeters) in length. The Queen Angel has a rounded head and small beak-like mouth. They have these long upper and lower fins that stream dramatically behind them. Although I love the Queen Angelfish best, The French Angelfish is also among the most beautiful of all the reef fishes.

The French Angelfish.....it's scales have bright yellow edges, making a vibrant pattern against its dark blue body.

A big thankyou to our Harbour Club guests Brian Gatt and Connie McEgan for their spectacular photos of the French Angelfish. I don’t dive (only snorkel) so I have to rely on others for underwater photos. The Queen Angel photos were taken by our son Mike on some of his regular visits to Provo.

The French Angelfish has a light blue face, gray/white mouth, and yellow highlights on its eyes, gill plates, and fins.

I’m sure you’ll see these exotic fish as you snorkel at Smith’s Reef and the Bight Reef at Coral Gardens. For those that scuba dive, our coral reefs and walls are some of the best in the world. Come to the Turks and Caicos Islands for your next dive vacation and stay with us at Harbour Club Villas. Dive boats leave our Marina every day and if you don’t dive, snorkeling is great here too.

Kayaking the South Shoreline

Posted on March 10, 2010 by marta

Guests at Harbour Club set off for a kayaking adventure out the marina boat channel complete with picturesque beaches and small tidal coves.

We have two ocean kayaks at Harbour Club Villas that guests can use at any time. They can put them into the water off our marina docks and head out to explore a very beautiful coast line. To the right of the Marina channel where all the boats come in and out are Delou’s beaches.

Delou's Beach is an idyllic spot easily accessible from Harbour Club Villas by kayaking out of the Marina and following the shore line on the other side of the channel.

These small private beaches are tucked away and basically “found” by our guests at Harbour Club Villas. Some have even kayaked out to some of the little cays for snorkeling.

Recent guests put one of the kayaks up on a rock out cropping while they snorkeled the clear waters out in Cooper Jack Bay close to our villas

Spend a few hours or an afternoon off Delou’s beach and enjoy the clear shallow waters of the south side of Provo. There’s numerous coral heads where you can find lobster as well as a variety of fish.

Recent guests out for an afternoon heading towards one of the secluded tidal beaches found across the bay from the Marina channel at Harbour Club's Marina

One of the advantages of staying with us is that we have so much local knowledge and favourite hidden places for you to explore. Actually, we have many favourites as each one has it’s own charm and beauty.

Enjoy seeing the quieter south side of Provo.

Ruddy Turnstones at Sharkbite

Posted on December 28, 2009 by marta

This little Ruddy Turnstone dropped by for tidbits while we were having lunch at the Sharkbite.

Lunch at the Sharkbite in Turtle Cove Marina is always interesting……….the Ruddy Turnstones create quite a show as they vie for the choicest bits from the lunch time crowd and at night, you’ll be lucky to catch sight of the “resident” bull shark that hangs out looking for food.

Lined up all in a row along the ledge of the Sharkbite Restaurant's deck.

Ruddy Turnstones are a common visitor to our shores and some are even year round residents. They seem to love the Turtle Cove area but then you can hardly blame them especially with such a variety of great restaurants with an easy food supply. They become habituated and really, we shoudn’t be feeding them but it happens everywhere……..ie. the gophers or ground squirrels at the buffalo paddocks in Banff were always such roly poly fat little things from all the visitors feeding them.

Birdwatchers can see the Ruddy Turnstone almost anywhere especially in Turtle Cove.

Drop by the restaurants in Turtle Cove on your next holiday on Provo. Lunch was great at the Sharkbite……..some of the best conch chowder I’ve ever tasted!!

A Day on the Water

Posted on October 16, 2009 by marta

This beautiful pink tipped sea anemone looked like it was growing out of an old conch shell.

Another great day spent with friends on the water. As we waded to our little cay with the iguanas, I came across a pink tipped sea anemone. It appeared to be growing out of an old conch shell encrusted with marine life.

This iguana was ready to hide under the sea grape bush if we came any closer.

We saw many iguanas on the little cay and they were probably introduced some years ago.

The iguanas scurried away as we approached and this one was almost ready to put up a fight. He positioned himself so that he could hide in the brush under a sea grape bush if he needed to.

Three pelicans all in a row were feasting on a large school of little fish

As we anchored off the pirate’s cave and Osprey Rock, we were treated to a pelican show…………..three Brown Pelicans and their synchronized dive bombing for fish show. It was spectacular to watch as I positioned myself in the water in the hopes that they would feed close beside me.

Look at the huge stretch of this pelican's gullet.

Little fish were jumping all around as the pelicans swooped time and time again.

I love the way they skip along the water trying to get enough lift to launch into flight.

And finally, front row seats for the best view in the world and a grande finale to the day. The sun sets over Turtle Rock, and we head back to Harbour Club’s Marina.

We watched the sun go down from the waters of Taylor Bay.

A perfect ending to another Provo day filled with sun, fun, good friends and alot of laughter. We wish the same for you as you make plans to visit soon.

The Bight Reef

Posted on October 6, 2009 by marta

Wow........flat calm at the Bight Reef also known as the White House Reef.

Provo has two great snorkel areas close to the shore line……….The Bight Reef or the White House Reef at Coral Gardens and Smith’s Reef just outside the entrance to Turtle Cove Marina. Usually you’ll see turtles, lots of fish such as parrot fish, angel fish, blue tangs and sometimes spotted eagle rays along with beautiful coral formations.

Look at the clarity of the water as Alexis prepares to head out snorkeling

We have some of the best snorkeling ever here in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Come and see us soon and enjoy snorkeling on our reefs.

Happy snorkeling,

Marta
