We chose “Caicos Adventures” as our dive operator in Providenciales. According to Fifi Kunz’s website, the dive boat should take us to a variety of different dive sites: West Caicos Wall, Lost Reef, Southwest Reef,Sandbore Channel, French Cay,Molasses Reef, North West Point and more “unchartered” dive sites, only known to Fifi! The weather was cooperating and the dive boat catamaran was big and comfortable. During the ride to the reef,the divers were worried that the wind would blow Fifi’s pint-sized dog overboard. The dog was the size of 2 fists and he was running around the upper bridge helmstation. Fortunately, he managed to hold on and we were spared any kind of “dog-overboard” maneuvers.

We are spending our days with swimming in the ocean, beach walking and reading. A daily New York Times fax keeps us informed about the troubles in the world, which seem so far away from here. We have one nice dinner on the beach, celebrating our 29th anniversary. Coincidentally, a small wedding party is sitting next to us and we have to listen to the speeches about the newlyweds parties in college.

We escaped the rainy summer in Upstate New York and flew from Kennedy Airport to Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. The trip went smooth and we had a nice sunset prior to landing in Provo. We are in the tropics at 21degrees 50′ N and 72degrees 15′ W and the hotel shuttle is driving through the pitch black night to our resort. We are having a nice dinner al fresco at our restaurant “Hemingways” and afterwards move in to our studio at “The Sands at Grace Bay”.
