Rock Sound. Eleuthera

We pulled up anchor from Little San Salvadore/Half Moon Bay shortly after 7:15 am and within minutes saw another cruise ship heading our way with more guests to enjoy the island, but with a sailboat and the weather changing it was time for us to find some protection and we headed to Rock Sound.  As we left the anchorage sea conditions were 6 feet on top of 8-10 foot rollers (unlike the weather forecast) making it a brisk ride to our new destination with 18-20 knot winds behind us.  Sailing with the wind and seas behind you is the way to go and it sometimes can make you believe sea conditions are not as bad as they are. It is always a good idea to turn around and see what kind of wind and waves you are really sailing in. We knew we would only have to deal with these conditions for 2-3 hours with the open Atlantic between the islands and then we would have some protection from the "Whales Tail" section of Eleuthera.  The waves and wind did calm down but not by much.  We tried to stay ahead of the squalls but did encounter one giving us some rain (a free boat-wash) and winds gusting up to 25 knots. 
 The flying fish were having a great time flying from one wave to another.  Rylee on the other had was literally sick as a dog.  He was very anxious as we rocked from side to side.  The anchorage at Rock sound is quite large and can hold a number of boats but to our surprise, we have the anchorage to ourselves!  Have no idea where the boats are, but they aren't here which is nice for a change.
