Five Islands Harbour was a large bay which was practically undeveloped. Few boats went there. We liked its peace and quiet. When we arrived from St Martin we came right in and dropped anchor at night. This was very unusual for us but there were no reefs or other hazards and it was a quiet, moonlit night. This blowhole near the entrance spouted vigorously when a swell was running. It sometimes sent enough water into the air to create a faint rainbow.
