White Sand Christmas

Author: Karen Shaw

Now that I am up north celebrating the holidays and shoveling snow, I think to myself, why not look at the white sand of Grace Bay beach as the new snow!  If we get lucky enough to have a full moon around the holidays the shimmer over the water casts a light on the sand that indeed makes it look like snow (but it’s oh so much warmer between your toes).

Next year my white Christmas is going to be with the “new snow” in the Turks and Caicos Islands!  With so many more direct flights at discounted prices flying down to us, my family and friends will have no problem coming to me for a change.

Wider Canals…Happier Boaters!

We recently listed a few canal front properties in Long Bay Hills that have breathtaking views and access to the Caicos Banks. Problem was, when the land was originally surveyed and the canals were cut back in the 60’s, it was hard to determine exactly where to cut, so like the wild west they followed the land and hoped they were close.

The result was narrowish canals that looked like they might not accomodate larger boats, but thanks to some clever surveyors and dredging equipment the new improved canals look great, are wider than ever and ready for docks to be built.

The paving of the main highway is slated to start January 15th, 2010 so access on totally paved roads make these canals the best deal in Provo.
