A reverse osmosis device in each unit allows for filtered drinking water directly from the taps, eliminating thousands of throw-away plastic water bottles. A Tesla electric “house car” is available for guests’ use. And thanks to a government protected “green space” to the east of the property, the views of native vegetation will remain untainted. I realized that the sports favored here are also helping keep the Turks & Caicos “Greener by Nature.” Kiteboarding, kite sailing, wind surfing, wing surfing, and sailing use no fuel, contribute no emissions (except exclamations of joy), and are naturally quiet. It’s a far cry from the bustle of engine-driven boats that pass along Grace Bay all day. So what’s the buzz? Guests are raving about this small, niche resort. Since opening in December 2020, the repeat rate is rising like the kites in the wind. Many guests travel from Europe and South America, lured by the beach’s reputation and overjoyed to have lodging that makes their vacation so perfect.

He recently turned sleuth trying to determine how a paper salesman in California in the late 1920s obtained a wide-ranging collection of early postcards and photographs of Grand Turk Island. Sleuthing the Stave Story What is the origin of a mysterious collection of vintage images of Grand Turk? Story and Illustrations By Jeff Dodge What was the connection between the Turks & Caicos Islands and a paper salesman from Los Angeles, California? This question came up after I noticed that a number of the vintage Turks Islands postcards in my collection had the name and address of a Los Angeles man stamped in light blue ink on their backs. My curiosity finally grew to the point that I had to know who this man was and what was his connection to the TCI. The name stamped on these postcards was “George A. Stave.” My first guess was that he had visited Grand Turk Island in the late 1920s or early 1930s. That guess would have been wrong. Times of the Islands Spring 2023 67
