A beautiful Sunday afternoon floating around in Taylor Bay. We watched the very dark clouds gathering and creating a spectacular sky over towards the south west point of the island but nothing to worry about as they appeared to be moving off towards West Caicos.

The water was lovely and warm and look at that backdrop.......spectacular!

Turtle Rock peeking out right off the boat engines. There was a clear gap right over Turtle Rock and you could see the bands of heavy rain.  

This little potcake was loving playing with a bottle cap.....she's waiting to be adopted????

Please contact Jane at Potcake Place if you can help in any way.  www.potcakeplace.com

 They are in need of forever homes for these adorable, loyal and loving potcakes. Here’s what you can do to help: Make a donation as they rely on donations to foster the puppies.  Be a courier and take a pup to their new home or adopt a pup.  Remember, every little bit helps……dog food, collars, shampoo, treats, toys and flight bags to transport puppies etc. are always in need!!

Another Taylor Bay Sunday

"Groovin" on a sunny Sunday afternoon on Provo......it just doesn't get any better than this!!!

I wish my photos did justice to the true colours of the sand, seas and skies on yet another perfect Sunday afternoon dreamily lazing around at Taylor Bay. We got a late start at about 3 pm and cruised on down to Taylor Bay anchoring in 2 feet of water fairly close to shore. The tide was on it’s way out so ever so often we’d drag the anchor further back.

The boat was out in two feet of water as we lay around in the gently rippling water

As the sun slowly sank lower in the sky, we pulled up anchor and headed towards home. As we came towards the marker buoy off Ocean Point, we were greeted by over a dozen sailing boats anchored out in Sapodilla Bay.

Note the marker buoy in the foreground with a Royal Tern perched ontop of it.

Sapodilla Bay had more boats anchored out than I’ve seen in a long while…………. a beautiful sight to see especially as the sun was starting to set.

At least two dozen boats were gently rocking back and forth out in the bay.

A lovely tranquil afternoon. We’re fortunate to be able to enjoy all the stunning beauty around us in the Turks and Caicos Islands. We hope you will book your next holiday and vacation in these “beautiful by nature” islands. See you soon.

A Favourite Beach

Peeking through the ironshore rocks can make for some interesting photo opportunities. The rocks are pretty sharp so watch yourselves. This one was taken out at a small , tucked away beach that most people never get to see. Heavenly!!

I’m always talking about my favourite beach but if the truth be know…..they are all my favourites as each one comes with specialties. The softest sand, the most brilliant shades of water colour, the most amazing clear water, the most deserted, the best for shells, snorkeling or simply swimming and I could go on and on.

Come join us and discover all our many spectacular beaches.
