Located in Sapodilla Bay, North Caicos

Yes we finally left Bahamas. After spending February, March, April, and beginning of May, we are sad to leave but excited to discover new places. And new it was. Caicos island is definitely like a whole different world. People don't yell the way they did in Bahamas. The influence of hispaniola is definitely felt. We heard a lot more Spanish, spoken on the streets, and marenge and bachata was blasting from a nearby bar where we lounged for the afternoon. The trip to Caicos was pretty good. We still had few squalls that we had to dodge, but overall we are glad to have left because the weather will be deteriorating as the week goes on. We tried fishing but had no luck. Now that all the wire and hooks were properly crimped we expected to not loose any fish, but unfortunately we never got a hit. Weather in Caicos was pretty much the same. The stationary trough was stubborn and kept bringing squalls, rain and clouds. The bay is very bumpy. Unfortunately we have to hang out here and wait for weather to improve before we go across the banks to South Caicos.
