New Contest: Salt Cay

It is summertime on Salt Cay!  

Summer brings what has become known as "silly season"  and it is in full force now on Salt Cay.

Know these people?

Entries must be received by August 15, 2012.

Hint:  Zoo Keeper from The City!

Closing May 4 to May 30

Porter's Island Thyme on Salt Cay will be closing Friday, May 4th until Wednesday, May 30, 2012.

Not only will this give us time to complete a number of projects that are underway at Island Thyme, but will allow for some much needed rest and relaxation.

It was a great season...thanks to everyone who visited Salt Cay!

Properties we manage will still be available for rental on Salt Cay as our team will be on island.

We are setting off to discover the latest food trends and things we can bring back to Salt Cay for next season.

Personally I hope the tamale lady still has her stand on the Plaza de Armas, the Pelican Club is as good as we remember it, smoked trout is still on the menu at the Inca Grill, the oysters are fresh and the crawfish spicy, Mothers is still open, and the alpaca steak is just as delicious!

Salt Cay Salina Sally: New Contest

Everyone who has spent much time on Salt Cay knows about Sallina Sally.

It is told that our lovable Salt Cay Salina Sally is often seen at night moving from the main salina on Salt Cay to the "blue hole" in the south creek or on rare occasions is seen crossing Victoria Street to reach the ocean from the salinas.

Is Salt Cay Salina Sally related to Nessie?

Many people have had encounters with Salt Cay Salina Sally, either while riding their bike or taking their golf cart home through the "middle ground", on their way to their accommodations in the South District of Salt Cay... some comical and others more serious.

Get a photo of Salina Sally like this one of Nessie and maybe you will win!

Now it is time to document Salina Sally's existence for once and for all!

Exploring transportation options for Salt Cay, Turks & Caicos Islands

We spent many hours on our vacation in Cambodia exploring options for providing transportation for our guests on Salt Cay.  There was the Bamboo Train...if only we had a single rail track on the island...

...trouble is...if you meet someone coming from the other direction, you have to take the bamboo train off the tracks, take it apart, and then put it back on again after the other train goes by...so not convenient enough.

Then, we took some boat rides---but none compared to the efficiency and comfort of the Salt Cay Community Ferry, so we ruled that out too!

The bus rides were pretty "hairy" to say the least, with all the vehicles and ox carts on the road.  The traffic might not be a problem on Salt Cay, but we just don't know how we'd get a bus to the island in the first place?

Now comes the "tuk-tuk"...this was definitely an option.  They are actually sold (the carriage part, at least) in South Carolina---all we need to do is hook up the tuk-tuk carriage to the back of a motorcycle and away we go!  How do you think Pretty or Apol would feel about offering us all rides?

Guess we ended up relying on our OWN TWO FEET to get us where we need to go on Salt Cay...it's not so big, after all!

One thing's for sure...it's EASY to get to Salt Cay now that Caicos Express offers dependable, scheduled service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays all season long! 

 Morning or afternoon, we can count on Richie and his team! 

Dive Salt Cay & More, http://www.divesaltcayandmore.com/ would be happy to make all your arrangements once you arrive in Provo!
