Yes, I was there last night

Yes, I was there, of course, last night at the weekly ritual of Sharkbite, here in Turtle Cove. For that avid reader who can't get away from my blog, they will not know possibly of this favourite watering hole of mine, where one can catch up with the local gossip and of course, have a beer or two. Its interesting how the weekly crowd changes from each week...this week it was really busy for a good few hours....
Well, for me, its ginger ale now, as I have discovered that several bottles of the falling down water do give me a headache.. so have decided to take the fizzy route for a bit....
hmmm....
We had some super new yachts in the marina this week. Must be possibly something to do with the fishing tournament scheduled for next week. We get this wonderfull fishing boats come in, all with fridges and showers and all the toys that make deep sea fishing such a trial. Just checked out the website of this tournament.. very posh... do I really live there and overlook this.. yes I do.... lucky me!....
Must have a chat with Carol and see if I can get a link to Syb's website... seems a good spot to be seen for others..
Think I have finally got my head around this blogging lark and look forward to seeing if there really is anyone out there in cyberspace - are you there?.........

Its all very clever this technology....

Checking on how these new systems work, I discoverd that my photos in Picasa were automatically accessed by this blog software and all of a sudden I could pop up some of the millions of photos that I have taken here in Turks and Caicos...I like the idea that I can link as well to wherever I want...not that anyone will read this.... but we shall see.

However, thought I would link some photos of a new whizzo island that is starting to really swing now.. that being Ambergris Cay....

It has its own international airport now, which is a bit of a first in the Caribbean, and those that want and can, are able to fly directly to this spot on the Earth and chill out.

There going to be a bit of bash in the immedatiate future for the formal opening of this new faciltiy, not that I have an invite, but the thought is there - from me anyhow..

Here's a photo to peruse. It's not much to look at really and does not show what this island is all about, but worth clicking on this link, and you can see more. It you fancy bulding your own home on a private island, then this could be the place for you.

There I was... minding my own business....

Just sitting on my balcony, I looked up, only to see this super yacht slip gently into the harbour here in Turtle Cove, Providenciales.
A great sight to see first thing and I always wonder who is on board. A number of these lovely boats are charters from Florida, and sometimes a whole crowd of friends have all chipped in together to enjoy the fun. We have a huge mega yacht in last year which was registered in London, and sat here for three months or so. It was one of those yachts that is propelled by blowing the water rather than using a propella.... quite amazing. A nice sight to wake up to.

Making a start


There are trillions of blogs and images all about stunning Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean, and this blog is designed to add to the information out there as and when.
Its very much a personal blog and any comments are most welcome.
The Turks and Caicos Islands is a small nation, and the growth is simply stunning. Only few years ago, in the middle 70's, there was very little to see or do, especially on Providenciales. The topography of the island is dull, but the water is quite out of this world.
As with all developing nations, the infrastructure has come a long way and is enabling the change to take place. Now there are tarmacadam roads, international airports, daily flights to the US and weekly to London, stunning developments where tourists can enjoy, beautiful houses and wonderful sights... on and on ....
I have been here now for 4 full years, and still look out of my window in awe at the sight of the water and the colour. The blue, green and white colours blend, the wind gently blows the palms... simply quite wonderful.
Now, working from home and supporting the most imporant person in my life in her new venture, real estate, it is a joy to be able to send out messages and perhaps enable someone else the opportunity to benefit and experience a change of lifestyle.
Only yesterday, chatting to a Californian who is here to look for property (we are selling our current home and moving on to the next step in our own journey - still here!) once again, it reminded us of the uniquesness of the life here. Simply quite wonderful.
Below is copy imported of Jan's blog, so that there is something else to read on this blog...what fun!
I've just discovered another blog from a visitor who was raving about the islands, and has taken some stunning photos... how wonderful to be able to spead the word so easily in this day and age. We are truly blessed.
