Gringos in the TCI Photo Blog

[Gringo]

I just signed up here. Got a message suggesting I make my first post a "hello" on this thread. So, here is a "hello".

Wife and I moved from the USA to the Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies, over two years ago. We are building a house here. We have a 22 ft. Andros panga, and we boat and fish 52 weeks a year. We are not on the water every day, but certainly several days a week. We also sometimes drive an 18 ft. Whaler. We fish a lot. Dive for conch and lobster. We take a LOT of photos.

Is that an okay hello?

Welcome!!! We're looking forward to seeing alot of pictures!

You lucky bunny! I can see from your blog that it's a beautiful part of the world with, apparently, some really good wahoo and blue marlin fishing.

Regards

P.

Welcome to SFC! Boy am I jealous of you. I spent 10 days in Provo a few years ago for a buddy's wedding and what a beautiful place that is. Beautiful waters, and great fishing. I'm looking forward to hearing (and seeing) all of the happenings down there. Again, welcome!

Excellent hello, welcome! I would venture to say you are living the dream of many. We never get tired of fishing pictures here so, please, post away!

Welcome aboard Gringo!

Sounds like you and your wife are definitely living the dream! Good for you guys. Can't wait to see some of those dive shots!

Thank you. I actually started a thread on another forum that took off, presently up to something like 60 pages and 115,000 views. At the suggestion of some readers, we established a blog site with all that. I think the blog is up to something like 90 pages now, with literally hundreds of photos of the TCI. I would be happy to post some photos here. I imagine some of the winter-bound readers might like the odd clear water/tropical scene photos. Like, maybe a sunset from Pine Cay?:


The blog actually gets more into what it's like for two expats moving here and building a house etc. Probably not stuff for a boating forum.

Where's the best place on here to post photos?
