Exploring Big Fish Cay & Providenciales, Turks & Caicos

We enjoyed a couple of days cruising the south side of Turks & Caicos. We sailed to Big Fish Cay, then crossed the Caicos Bank, with an average depth of 10 feet of the most beautiful luminescent  turquoise water I’ve seen.

It was perfect.

David caught 4 barracuda, with some major teeth. He skillfully unhooked and returned them to the water…alive. David has always been passionate about fishing. He has a sixth sense for it.

My last post was from Salt Cay, a very remote island southeast of Turks & Caicos with a population of 65 and a major league outdoor sound system, closeby on the beach. When the music stopped blasting at 5am (no kidding), the irony made me laugh. The DJ was very talented, but I expected the sounds of silence in paradise. They party hard in Salt Cay.

No place is too remote to call David's incredible Mom on Mother's Day

When we left for Long Island, Bahamas, the wind kicked up to 29 knots.  Check out the wind instrument showing us ripping at 15.2 knots with an apparent wind of 15 knots. We peaked at 18.7 knots.
