Rock Sound Harbour

Hi all,
We're now in Rock Sound Harbor towards the south end of Eleuthera. We spent a couple of days anchored by "Glass Window". I'll post some pictures from there once I have a better WiFi connection. It was really nice. There were about 8 boats that made the same trip with us. The wind was favorable so we were able to sail most of the way, at least until we went through Current Cut. Current Cut is a narrow cut between two islands that has a fair bit of, wait for it... Current. We were the fifth boat through and had no trouble.

We did a little exploring by dinghy and then made some new friends by accident. By Phillip's accident, not ours. Before leaving Spanish Wells Phillip waved to another boat (Cookie) and got his hand into his wind generator. Barbara, on Cookie, is a nurse and after looking at Phillip's hand decided it needed stitches. So we meet Phillip and Teresa from Sea Ya as Susan sewed up Phillip's hand, about 20 stitches worth.

Wednesday we sailed almost 50 miles to Rock Sound. Other than being a bit chilly, it was a great day for sailing. Ben on Loon sailed with us. We were some of the first boats in Rock Sound but with the coming bad weather we weren't alone long. Now we're sitting on the boat in the rain. There is a good chance of squalls with wind up to 60 kts this afternoon and evening so everyone is just waiting on the weather now that all the preparations have been made.

Decent weather isn't supposed to return until Monday so we'll be here until then. Our plan for Monday is to head to the Exumas and find a place to wait out the next storm on Thursday or Friday.

That's all for now.
Take care.
Brian
