We're going from one island to another, spending a lot of time in the water.  The place is relatively undisturbed, so you see healthy coral and big fish.  In the afternoons there are lots of rays, always fun to see.  Yesterday as we were anchoring one appeared in a new color scheme, with black and white patches- probably a manta.  We immediately jumped in the water, and saw this guy swimming by.

Now we're in the lovely low-bandwidth San Blas Islands.  Lovely and friendly.  The Kuna are always paddling up to the boat trying to sell things -mostly molas, but also out-of-season lobsters, which no one here buys, and the occasional fish.  There are separate fruit-and-veggie boats that ply the anchorages every few days.  Other cruisers come over to check out the new boats- yesterday, an Italian woman we know from Roatan actually swam over to visit.  It seems like more European and fewer American cruisers, and more relaxed than other spots.
