Hi Guys, I really haven't listed a blog in a very long time sorry so many things are new. I promise i will start blogging more again. The reason I wanted to post a blog after so long is because I in some thing that is a once in a life time experience(well i hope so ). I'm currently writing from the Turks and Caicos Islands on a Island called Grand Turk. Grand Turk has been in my past blogs, I worked a Dive job here for Blue Water divers, then after I opened a Buisness called Momentum watersports. I'll have [View Full Entry]

I have been fortunate enough to have traveled to the Turks and Caicos Islands twice, both times to the island of Providenciales. The first trip was a family vacation. The island chain is just a bit south of the bahamas, not technically in the caribbean. This was a spring break trip but the weather was certainly tropical. We had some evening storms and one day when the wind was blustery but otherwise pleasant conditions. We stayed at the Ocean Club West a condo resort on Grace Bay which stretches for several miles. The beach is wide and sandy with fairly calm [View Full Entry]

It seem as if June 1st was just the other day and now we are packing our bags to return home in the morning. The past 30 days have been beyond believable!!! We have met wonderful new friends in Cayman, New Providence (Nassau), Abaco, and Turks & Caicos. Today was our final day in the Caribbean but the memories of our 30-day tour will last a lifetime. The memories of our time together will forever connect the five of us and our new friends. On each island one of our team members were able to check off something that they've always [View Full Entry]

From Katie- Hello All! Had a few minutes to spare and thought to bring you all up to speed. We have had an exciting few days in TCI (Turks and Caicos Islands). Since arriving we have presented at all the Rotary meetings in the country! We had a chance to meet and present at the Rotaract Club (dynamic group), travel to Grand Turks for a tour, visit to museum and then a meeting with their Rotary Club and back to Provo for their Rotary club's last meeting before changeover (which we will be attending tomorrow). Everyone has been wonderful and taking [View Full Entry]

Wendy & Katie checking in - As sad as we were to end our time on Abaco, Turks & Caicos welcomed us in grand style. We arrived on the beautiful island of Providenciales (Provo to the locals), and we were picked up at the airport and taken to the West Bay Club for our two day break to recharge our batteries for our last week of this life changing experience. We spent most of our break chatting and trying to put into words how this experience has impacted our lives, but found it challenging to express it even to each other. [View Full Entry]

My last port day has arrived. Today we were in Grand Turk. A small island, not a lot there. But still very nice. I'd never expected to come back here again, after having been here last year while on the Legend. But, there I was. Jody and I went on a snorkel / beach tour. We went to Governor's Beach, part of a park, really close to the ship. The water in Grand Turk is extremely salty but it makes the water stunning blue and the sand very white. The beach was lined with - I couldn't get over it - [View Full Entry]

Georgetown is often referred to as Chicken Harbor, seeing that it is the southernmost point that most cruisers travel. It is here that boats either turn back and return to the U.S. (the chickens) or continue south to the Caribbean Islands (the brave sailors). Last year we turned back but this year we are pushing on south, determined to bring the Rum Runner to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, as well as the Windward and Leeward Islands. Although this is an uphill battle, we have to wait for the right weather conditions to travel against the trade winds (25-30 knots dead [View Full Entry]

Here are some pics of our trip to the island of Provonciales or at the locals call it - Provo. We stayed at the Comfort Suites, a small hotel, close to Grace Bay. Grace Bay is one of Conde Nast's top 10 beaches in the Carribean. We spent our days on this sleepy (but expensive) island on the beach. Except for one day when Eric and I rented a jeep and drove around the island. We went to happy hour every night at Jimmy's Dive Bar (formerly The Barefoot Cafe) drinking frozen margaritas - mango for Eric, peach for me. [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone...my name is Aly and I'm a friend of JP's. I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of being on the island for JP's last night here on Grand Turk before his (what is turning out to be) a very long journey home. So I shall start from the beginning.....the evening started out quietly as Jon and I tried to get JP's lazy butt to go to the bar but he calmly refused and took a nap. Anyways, we forgave him because he's just that nice of a guy. After a nice nap at good ol' sunnyside he [View Full Entry]
