Lionfish Attack in Turks & Caicos (Episode 16)

These waters are also some of the bluest waters in the world in the Caicos Bank and best for diving! However, like most of the Caribbean Sea, they too are ridden with the invasive lion fish! Upon dropping anchor in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, we bid farewell to our two crew and waited for the next one to fly in! In the meantime, we decided to do some exploring on land and underwater and made a local friend who offered to take us to a "nearby" reef to do some snorkeling. Everything was going great and we even got to check out a few old Haitian shipwreck sailboats on the beach. Then, we got back in the water to do some spearfishing and had our first scary emergency at sea! Chris accidentally got stung by one of the lion fish. After a trip to the emergency room because his hand was turning black, he was writhing in pain for the next 12 hours! Luckily, his finger came back down to normal size enough to sail again. So, with our new crew member Colin, we weighed anchor and headed for the Turks Passage! Hope you fellow explorers enjoy this episode!
