We finally left Blackpoint after two weeks and sailed out of the Exumas to Rock Sound on Eleuthera Island. Our choice was to go on a sailing day with scattered squalls or to wait several more days and have to motor on a sunny day. We chose the rain squalls.
The showers and squalls with winds to near 30 kts showed up as forecast, but the sailing was fine with the IP380 reefed down. We arrived at Rock Sound just before 5 pm as the rains finally quit.
Lots of rainbows through the day with this double one as we anchored off the Rock Sound shore. The white building at the base of the rainbow just happens to be an Anglican church.
This was our second rainbow of the day, the first one was too large to get in one photo.
We left Blackpoint just after 7 am. This was the view coming through the cut in the Exuma island chain as we transited out into Exuma Sound. The squall on the horizon was a harbinger of what was to come during the afternoon.
Safely anchored off Rock Sound and ashore for a walk in town.
