With strong NW winds forecast, we chose to move on to Rock Sound Harbor Eleurthera as it offers good protection in strong NW winds. We raised the anchor about 6:45 am just before the sun rose at 7:00 am and motored past Little San Salvador, about 15 miles west of Cat Island where cruise ships stop for the day at their private island. We continued on, now sailing with a nice SW wind along “the bridge” - a shallow that connects Little San Salvador to Eleuthera and which is supposed to be a great fishing spot (no luck here) when we encountered a squall off Powell Point. Thankfully we’d reduced sail as the winds picked up to about 20 knots and rain fell but 15 minutes later, it was all through and the sun was out again.
We sailed into Rock Sound Harbor dropping anchor around 4:30 pm having sailed 59.97 miles. The NW winds finally materialized once we were on anchor and another line of squalls came through around 5:30 pm.
