Bahamas Sailing Ending, on to Stella Maris, Long Island


We pushed off in the morning from Staniel Cay - this would be our last sailing day. We all settled in for the 30 mile long sail across the Exuma Sound back to Rock Sound, Eleuthera.


The fellas discussing something important, I'm sure!

We had a few hours of good wind - then it was mostly motoring along.....for hours and hours....

We had to stop at the tip of Eleuthera to get our final top-off of fuel and water before we handed the boat back to the charter company.  Cape Eleuthera Resort is a very nice, but quite remote little village.


Beautiful resort but looked fairly deserted....


Our last night we spent anchored near Rock Sound...just had a peaceful evening - Lindy cooked a nice Moroccan chicken dish....the next day would be flying to Stella Maris!



Getting ready to take off at Rock Sound Airport. 



Bye Rock Sound - see you again soon!!



Beautiful views flying south - 






Unloading at Stella Maris Airport.  We were already cleared into the Bahamas, so we just had to stop by customs for a stamp on our cruising paperwork.


Arrival at the Rainbow House - part of the Stella Maris resort.



Loved the house - everyone had their own bedroom and bath - lots of neat "stuff" in the house including this 10' tall giraffe - intricately carved from one piece of wood!


Our neat bedroom.

 

Cool central room.




The view from the balcony - beautiful infinity pool that spilled over into the ocean below.
