What courtesy flag do you need to fly in the Turks and Caicos? Is the red
duster acceptable or do you need the T&C specific flag?

I believe that the T&C flag is proper (modified Red Ensign with blue field,
gold shield with the conch, lobster and cactus), but the Jolly Roger would
seem much more appropriate.

Red duster was quite satisfactory the last time we were there.

Chuck,

Thanks. I probably have 20-30 other country flags and am tired of shelling
out $20-$25 per flag.

P.S. Is this Chuck and Susan?

I've heard of people who made their own with a few scraps of fabric
and some markers. Some flags would be quite easy to do that way.

Turks & Caicos are still British connected. Flag can be any of British
colonies, possessions, etc.

Most countries expect their own flag. In some cases it makes clearing
customs & immigration a lot quicker. TCI is an overseas territory of
the UK and you can certain use the UK's flag but I believe you'll get
a friendlier reception flying a TCI courtesy flag.

I've cleared in there in both Provo and Grand Turk on different
occasions and customs/immigration has never come near the boat. In
fact, it's rather a long walk from the anchorages to customs, and on
Grand Turk they seemed astonished that someone would actually sail a
boat there from Bermuda.

In my experience in the Bahamas and Caribbean it's pretty unusual for
customs/immigration to leave their air-conditioned office.

We fly the red duster in the TCI.
