Keep reading. It's true that they got grounded after 5 months. However, the rain started when Noah was 600 and 2 months. They left the ark when he was 601 and 1 month. While they were grounded in the 5th month, the 1st land appeared in the 10th month and it was at least another month after that before they could get out.

Even though they were grounded after 5 months, the ark was partially afloat for months longer.
