From Grand Turk to Providenciales - 75nm. Perfect winds, big Mahi and we run aground! What. A. Day.

What a day at sea! In this episode of Sailing Mirage, Ella and I sail from Grand Turk to Providenciales in the beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands — and it truly turned into one of those unforgettable passages. We departed at 6:30 AM with a steady 16–18 knots of wind on the beam, sailing comfortably under full main and Code 0. The ocean was absolutely perfect — smooth, powerful, alive. Moments like this remind me why I love sailing so deeply… I might have gotten a bit sentimental there 😊 Ella was in her element, sunbathing on the aft deck, enjoying every minute of the passage. Then came the highlight: we caught a BIG mahi-mahi! It took almost an hour to reel her in — and this was Ella’s very first fish! The excitement on board was real and unforgettable. As if that wasn’t enough adventure, our arrival in Providenciales added a little spice. With strong wind, about 3 knots of current, and charts that were a bit off, we briefly ran aground near Donna Cay. Nothing serious — a passing motorboat wake lifted us free, and we anchored safely nearby. Just another reminder to stay humble at sea 😉 We end the day the best way possible: fried fresh mahi-mahi, dinner in the cockpit, and a bottle of Mumm’s Champagne 🥂 Sunset, good food, great company — what more could you ask for? What. A. Day.
