Grace Bay beach is breathtaking.......the colours.....golden sand, frothy white waves, turquoise and dark blue and the bluest of skies with a few white puff ball clouds.

We headed to the beach at Mudjin Harbour. What a spectacular stretch of pure white sand beach with big roller breakers coming in. I went straight towards Dragon Cay as the sand was pretty much exposed across to the Cay.
When a friend of ours was here a few months ago the pool was about nine feet deep with fish swimming in it. Last week the water was only about four feet which means the sand is filling it in. Mother Nature has a way of surprising us as these pools appear and disappear.
I coaxed....."forced" Eve to get into the pool even though the water was quite cold. Better her than me, I say!
We had a lovely day and my sisters were thrilled with their birthday present as they had always wanted to visit another of our beautiful islands. The quiet and tranquil islands of both North and Middle Caicos filled with friendly people will be remembered through these photos.

As a special birthday celebration for my two sisters, Anna and Eve, we headed off to North and Middle Caicos for the day. A short ferry ride and an open jeep waiting at Sandy Point and we were off.
We hopped into our jeep and headed along the coastal road past the amazing aqua blue waters of Bottle Creek and across the crumbling causeway. What a sad sight to see all the rubble and rebar sticking up and it sure gives you an bird’s eye view of what a hurricane Cat 4 can do. We first went to see Indian Cave which is just past Conch Bar and is a large cavern with skylight holes through the ceiling.
We were in awe as we took in the breathtaking view from the bluff overlooking Mudjin Harbour and Dragon Cay. One more stop before heading onto the beach where I wanted to find a beautiful rock pool a friend had told me about. I was hoping it was still there.
I made Anna and Eve go down the hand chiselled steps carved into a hole that tunnelled down and opened up at this wonderful little gem of a beach.
Our wonderful day on Middle Caicos will be continued as we try to find the pool that was there by Dragon Cay in early December. I was sure hoping the wave action hadn’t filled it all in with sand.
It is difficult to describe the natural and awesome beauty of Middle Caicos.

We started off by deciding to go out to Leeward Beach. We took a detour going totally in the opposite direction because Anna wanted chicken wings from Sweet T’s for lunch on the beach. I suggested since we were so far from Leeward that we head for Sapodilla Bay. I hadn’t been out there for a good two years and had forgotten how beautiful this beach is.
We loved the clear, shallow water and as the tide went out, the water created ridges in the powdery white sand.
Put Sapodilla Bay beach on your list of places to see when you head down to the Turks and Caicos Islands. I’ll see you there now that I’ve re-discovered this gem of a beach.

The tranquil south side of Provo where Harbour Club Villas is located.

Wishing you all the best for the New Year 2011.

There were so many Sunrise Tellin shells all along the shore line, some in the seaweed and others where the ocean had dropped them along the beach
This is so neat that I had to post another photo of it.Malaika was so happy to see her Poppa coming to pick us up for the trip home.
Another spectacular Sunday and as you can see we're having such calm seas that we just had to head out over the blue turquoise waters.
This little crab had the most vivid colours I've ever seen, red and orange and blue eyes. I believe it is called a Sally Lightfoot crab.
Another magnificent Provo Sunday enjoying the calm and unbelieveably clear water. It was a joy to be out on the water.
