Barracuda are not really dangerous, just scary-looking, especially with their rather frightening and ever-present grin. The sleek, silver tiger of the ocean is a curious creature, however, and will often follow you around, which can be a little unnerving. If you happen to be feeding the local reef fish, which you shouldn t do, you should always be on the lookout for something bigger. A barracuda after his share of the pie will attack like lightning and, although he s only after your hand-out, it might be your hand he takes. silver lake campground ca

visit to Grand Turk. It s a catalog of the history of the tiny island group, and you ll find many unique and interesting artifacts on display. For instance, some 50% of the museum s displays are centered around the remains of the wreck of Molasses Reef. That s where the Spanish caravel, name unknown, was found. It sank off Grand Turk sometime prior to 1513, making it the oldest known shipwreck in the Americas. When the wreck was first discovered, it was thought to be the wreck of one of Christopher Columbus ships, the Pinta, but this was not the case. It seems there s no evidence that the Pinta ever returned to Grand Turk. Today, little is left of the hull of the wreck, but what remains is on display, along with artifacts from the wreck. There are also some pre-Columbian artifacts, including a whole room dedicated to the Taino culture, with a Taino paddle dated to around 1100 AD. Open 9 am until 4 pm weekdays, and 9 am until 1 pm on Saturdays. Tours of the museum silver lake campground ca are conducted weekdays at 2 pm. Admission is $5 for adults, 50 for students. It s located in Guinep House, Front Street, Cockburn Town. 649-946-2160.
