ISLA MUJERES, 8 de agosto.-
A yacht left Progreso, Yucatan, sailing for Isla Mujeres, and has disappeared for several days, and the Harbor Master's office in Isla Mujeres confirmed they have no report of this vessel. The command of the Navy could not be reached for comment.
According to information on social networks, the Harbor Master of the Port of Yucalpeten, Freddy Pech Hernandez, said the boat has disappeared with three crew members on board. He said it was last known to be located south of Cuba a few days ago, and the Navy of Mexico has already begun searching, but so far there is no news of the boat.
The 42 foot long boat has a blue hull and two 350 horsepower engines. It is owned by Raul Martin Esquivel who reported that it is lost to the Harbor Master of Yucalpeten. He confirmed, on a website, that he lent the boat to his friend Roger Arvizu, who is one of the three crew members on board, according to the departure document of the vessel. The yacht was sailing from Progreso to Isla Mujeres, but never reached its destination.
According to the Automatic Identification System, (AIS) the boat was last located south of Cuba at latitude 20. 56.86 north and longitude 083.45.34 west.

"Mototriciclos" anger taxi drivers
“Mototriciclos” provocan enojo de taxistasar.. [+] Ver mas
The agency initiated renewal procedures for three vehicles, and taxi drivers, including Miguel Chi Lora, objected and called more cabbies to try and stop them in the street, because they represent a threat to the taxi drivers.
In the past two decades, about 550 golf carts have joined the tourism industry, surpassing the taxi drivers who now operate about 200 vehicles, with decreased their income because of this strong competition. They are worried about this new recreational transportation option, but their leader, Eduardo Peniche Rodriguez, has not yet addressed this new problem.
These mototriciclo vehicles have a maximum speed of 45 kilometer per hour, and are owned by Joaquin Ricalde, father of prominent local politicians Alicia and Julian Ricalde Magana. This issue has been published on an Isla Mujeres website.
Gran afluencia de turistas en la terminal marítimal.. [+] Ve
Large influx of tourists at Maritime Terminal
The businesses, beaches, and streets of Isla Mujeres remain busy with visiting vacationers, and those in charge of security and safety continue to report a "saldo blanco" or lack of incidents, and that everything is "normal". Tourists are enjoying the views, beauty, and attractions of the isle. Main street Rueda Medina becomes congested when there are many visitors, which improves after noon and is quieter in the evenings.

Here's a translation of an articlejthat was in Mx newspapers this week, which is HUMOR, joking that the President of Mx decided to sell Isla Mujeres to the US ( article in Spanish is HERE)
President Nieto to sell Isla Mujeres to the US

To use the money to avoid devaluation of the peso
Isla Mujeres, USA Aug 6, 2015
Controversy has been raised among the people of Mexico after President Enrique Pena Nieto announced in a closed meeting with Quintana Roo Governor Roberto Borge Angulo, that Isla Mujeres will be sold to the United States, as a preventative measure to avoid the devaluation of the pesos, in addition to using the surplus money to help with the Greek crisis.
The loss of this 1100 square kilometers, located in Q Roo, would follow the loss in 1853 of our countries vast territory that was known as "La Mesilla" and is now called "Arizona". Their legal status would be similar to that of the Island of Puerto Rico.
For the residents of the Island, the sale of this land would have both benefits and drawbacks, because on one hand they would have dual nationality, both Mexican and American, but they would all have to learn English, because that would become the official language.
Regarding schools and studies, the classes would be bilingual. Visiting Mexicans who want to come to the isle will need to present a US visa to enter, even if they have relatives there. American companies will gradually become responsible for providing electrical, water, and health services. This information is expected to become official at the end of August.
