Another successful triathalon was held in the Turks and Caicos Islands this past Sunday with individual, team and youth participants some 64 strong.  The meet consisted of a 600 meter swim starting on Grace Bay Beach, then to a 10 mile bike ride along the road to the Golf Course and back to the Sands resort twice, and finally a 3 mile run to Leeward development and back…whew…I’m tired just writing the stuff never mind participating!  Well, I was an official timer so I guess that counts as participating!

The next event is scheduled for February 28th so if you are planning to participate plan your holiday travel around it…it’s a great way to see the sites, play among the locals and rest on the beach after you’re done.

Imagine kite surfing across Turtle Tail Bay, a spectacular shallow bay of clear flat turquoise water with pristine sandy white beaches, or Long Bay Beach with its shallow flat water as far as the eye can see (and beyond), or the Grace Bay Beach made famous as one of Conde Naste’s picks for top ten beaches in the world for you more advanced group of kite boarders.

Come discover a Caribbean kite surf paradise for taking kite boarding lessons or for the advanced kite boarder from the pros at Kite Provo…my husband did and found it the thrill of a lifetime!

It’s funny how much we take for granted what is in our backyard, front yard, side yard (well you get the picture) when you’ve lived someplace for a long time.

I recently had a visit from my friend Laura who is a travel agent from the great white north who helped me rediscover our magnificent 14 miles of Grace Bay Beach (I think we walked the entire length over the course of a week), snorkelling spots that I hadn’t enjoyed in years, amazing sunsets from Ocean Club resorts beach, and conch fritters from the best little Conch Shack in the Caribbean I’m sure.

There is so much more to re-discover for me after living here for almost 14 years and forgetting how wonderful it is that I can’t wait for my next set of visitors, plus my girlfriend is going to become the “expert” in her office on Turks and Caicos travel.

Come see what excited her and has me continuing to enjoy the white sand and crystal clear seas!
