ISLA MUJERES, 5 de noviembre.-
Wednesday night at 8pm the Harbor Master, Ismael Gonzalez Gil closed the port for navigation by boats under 40 feet, due to the weather. This suspended nautical tourism activities such as sport fishing, snorkeling, diving, and commercial fishing, but the larger boats that come from the Hotel Zones of Cancun and Isla Mujeres were allowed to travel to Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres.
In spite of the restrictions, the Harbor Master allowed small vessels to travel in the area of the lagoons and el Farito, which was enjoyed by some tourists, in spite of the day beginning as cloudy and rainy. It is not known how long the restriction will remain, but boater owners hope it will not be for long.

Workshops and courses of the Habitat program continue to be successful
There has been a positive response from the women, men, and students seeking new opportunities for self employment and to generate more income for their household expenses. The workshops and classes are held at the Community Center of the Bicentennial Plaza, through the Department of Economic Development, with support from ICATQR, the Institute for Work Training of the state of Quintana Roo.
The municipal Director of Economic Development said, "We want the beneficiaries to acquire skills for self-employment, and in this way they can enter the more specialized labor market with a certificate of endorsement.
The courses began in September, and are benefiting the island community in a positive manner. The courses and workshops are scheduled to be completed later this month, benefiting approximately 400 islanders.
There have been courses in sewing, baking, massage, jellies (gelatinas), computers, English, and chess, as well as workshops promoting gender equality and the prevention of discrimination against young people. There have also been Zumba classes of Colombian dance moves to a series of aerobic routines to help develop, strengthen, and maintain a healthy body.

The Harbor Master closed the port for navigation by vessels under 40 feet, due to tropical wave 45, which has been located in the Caribbean Sea, to the south of the eastern coast of Cuba and to the coasts of Nicaragua, with effects of the peripheral circulation causing the entry of sea air with moderate moisture content toward the Yucatan Peninsula

The voice of Joel Montero will dress up the Mexican Caribbean
The Mexican tenor returns to his native Quintana Roo to interpret the best of his repertoire in the framework of the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean 2015
After performing with great success in the main opera houses of Europe, the Mexican tenor, Joel Montero, returns to his native State of Quintana Roo in the framework of the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean 2015 which takes place in the Mexican Caribbean from the 3rd through the 22nd of November.
The singer, born in Chetumal, and who has opened his way to success through perseverance, his art and his mastery of his voice as an musical instrument, has been described by international media as a passionate singer with a powerful voice and emotional acting which has gained for him a privileged place on the stages of the Old Continent.
Among his awards and recognitions are the special award given to him at the international singing competition “Monserrate Caballe” in Andorra and the “Luigi Infantino” prize in Lugoj, Rumania.
Montero was part of the Opera Studio at the theater in Zurich, Switzerland and the State Theater in Meinigen, Germany and has been an invited soloist at different theaters in various cities in Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Finland and England, appearing, as well, with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Next 14th of November, thanks to the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean, the Isla Mujeres public will be delighted by the voice that is conquering Europe when Montero will appear with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Quintana Roo, making all of his fellow Quintana Roo residents proud.

Celso Piña will enchant the Caribbean
This musician from the mountain region will be performing at the Caribbean Culture Festival 2015 in Quintana Roo which takes place Nov. 3-22. Celso Piña, better known as "the rebel of the accordion", will have the Mexican Caribbean dancing to la cumbia on November 14th, in Isla Mujeres, sharing the stage with Pato Machete.
The rhythms of this singer, composer, and arranger and icon of Mexican popular music in recent years, has confirmed his performance the festival. They will be bringing their distinctive sound that has enriched the cumbia with touches of other popular rhythms such as ska, reggae , rap and hip hop.
A born Musician, self-taught skill on the accordion, Pina provides a value beyond what is musical, and he represents an emblem of cultural Mexico today. This was demonstrated in the documentary film which he starred in, for the channel 11-one, and reinforcing the image immortalized in literature by Garcia Marquez, dancing to the rhythms of cumbias which are proudly made in Mexico.
So, the festival of culture in the Caribbean, it enriches the purest style "Sonidero" with the presence of the musician that since 25 years ago, has been one of the stars of the stage of the genre of cumbia.

From Sally Margolis Hi all!! We (Isla Animals) are gearing up for a HUGE Spay/Neuter, Vaccination, Wellness campaign for the animals in Rancho Viejo Nov 17-22. This is a very poor area in the municipality of Isla Mujeres. Most are living without electricity and running water.

We expect to treat/vaccinate/spay/neuter 1000 cats & dogs with the cost of surgery at just $10us per dog. This may be the only time any of these animals see a vet. We can treat the existing animals, vaccinate others against disease, curb the population growth, and educate pet owners on proper animal care and make a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! We have the knowledge, experience, volunteers, and heart to make it happen. We are asking for all of your help to raise funds to make the campaign a reality. (We can also accept Paypal donations via our site islaanimals.org - just add RANCHO VIEJO in message, and cash in person on Isla Mujeres. Please, please share the link on your social media. It helps us so much. If you are not in a position to donate PLEASE do read the campaign & share, there is lots of excellent info in it about the work we do-There is always so much to do!
