North again

Just making a quick post before we up anchor and leave Barra. We came back here to do some provisioning, get the laundry done and the bottom cleaned. Managed to get it all accomplished in 2 days so now we are going to Tenacatita and then to Chemala and La Cruz. Yesterday Chris & I were just hangin' out in the cockpit when a Manta Ray jumped out of the water right next to the boat! Then it jumped again about 50 ft away. Wow! What a cool thing!! We passed a couple of those guys when we came up from Las Hadas and are hoping to see more. The other thing we enjoyed seeing on the way here were Tropicbirds. We passed a big white rock that is apparently one of the places they nest and saw quite a few birds flying and in the water. They are very pretty...white with striking black markings around their faces and on their wings and they have two very long tail feathers that bounce up & down as they are floating on the water. We all tried valiantly to get a picture of one of the birds but they were just too skittery to get close to and too fast in the air. I DO have a picture of the big white rock..."Piedra Blanca" (Spanish for white rock).
We will likely be out of touch for at least a couple weeks as there is no internet until La Cruz but will be keeping my eyes open for cool things to write about!
