The Turks Passage between the Turks and Caicos banks is one of the great whale corridors of the Atlantic, thousands of North Atlantic humpbacks funnel through it each winter to breed on the Silver and Mouchoir banks. Anchorage: Sand anchorage in the lee of an uninhabited cay at the bottom of the Turks Bank, cruising guides pair it with Salt Cay as the best of the eastern group, and it is the last shelter before the Dominican Republic. Hazards: Uninhabited, exposed, and on the edge of a 2,000m drop. No shelter if the wind goes anywhere but east. Más
