Partying in Turks and Caicos

We made friends with the crew of a boat moored opposite us in the marina. They have been captaining/crewing what we call “stinkpots” for a long time and knew all the best places to go in the Bahamas and were fantastically helpful to us in planning our forthcoming trip. The owners of their boat were coming in for a long weekend with a party of friends and they did warn us that things might get loud. And they did! Fortunately it was mostly the sort of music that we liked too so we just sat outside and played board games using lip reading and mime to communicate! They did however play one particular anthem -- “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” -- on a regular and repeated basis: including when the owners arrived, when they returned to the marina and 4 times in a row before lights out at night.
