November 4th Toured the Island of Grand Turk. The town of Cockburn is pretty beat up from Hurricane Ike which hit the island in 2008 with winds of 145 mps. The island is next to where John Glenn's Friendship 7 Mercury spacecraft landed and where he was taken after that flight. A replica of his space craft is near the international airport. A beautiful beach, pool and facilities have been built at the wharf for cruise line passengers. We did some snorkling and saw lots of tropical fish including the poisonous scorpion, black durgons, and needles.
