This is our 3d visit to Barra de Navidad (so-called because it was discovered by the Spanish on Christmas Day). In the background is the Grand Bay Resort, a 5 star resort, on a pennensula with the marina, across from the funky little Mexican village of Barra de Navidad. We arrived on Friday, the 28th of March, and true to cruiser superstition should not have started even a short cruise on a Friday (it's only 2 hours from Tenacatita). We had 20 to 25 knots of wind all the way, and gusts of 30 when we got to the marina. We got pushed off trying to enter a slip, and hit the stern of the large motor vessel (125 foot Feadship) Orion. Little damage to their boat (a scratch to the new paint job and the stainless rub rail) and a dent in our solar panel. We moved to this slip the next day. Carol of Tanoshii was there to cheer Linda up. We are reaquainting ourselves with Barra and planning another inland trip, leaving the boat here.
