Rock Sound...





One of the first things that we noticed about Rock Sound on approach was that it appeared to be a town of substance. By substance we mean that it appeared to be many buildings, even many streets which is more than we had seen at previous stops. Once ashore, we discovered that the community by land was not as large as it appeared by sea, but still large enough to have one of the best grocery stores that we'd seen in months! While our provisions continue to hold us well there were some things that we no longer had available on board. The biggie being potato chips. It was great to walk into a store with a great selection and a price tag that didn't make you cringe (too much).


The big attraction in Rock Sound is the Ocean Hole. It is a big salt water pond that has an unknown outlet to the sea. The locals use it as a swimming hole as the fresh water run off accumulates and sits on top of the salt water making for a more pleasant swimming experience.


Next stop Governor's Harbor.
