The Mexican Navy rescued a yacht named "Il Padrino" (the godfather) near Isla Mujeres. It was flying an American flag, and was adrift without propulsion on the open seas. The rescue took place on April 25 after the Navy received a call reporting that the "Il Padrino" had suffered engine failure, with two crew members aboard, one of Mexican nationality and one of American nationality, who were adrift 126 nautical miles (234 km) from Isla Mujeres.
The Navy activated search and rescue activities, and the Ocean Patrol PO-163 "ARM Independencia" located the vessel. For four days, they stayed in the immediate vicinity of the boat to provide shelter, and custody, as well as giving food and medical care to the crew, who were awaiting a towing boat, which was en route. Then the boat was towed to its country of origin.

The sister city agreement was signed between the Mayor of St Petersburg, Florida, Rick Kriseman and the Mayor of Isla Mujeres, Agapito Magana Sanchez. I already translated this info about the events of Friday evening, where the participants in the Regatta were named as Distinguished Guests, awards were handed out, the winner of the children's logo contest was named, and Keys to the City were given to Mr Kriseman, in addition to the signing of the Sister City agreement.

On Saturday, there was a good turnout of visitors at the beach, and before noon there were a large number of boats bringing visitors from the mainland, as well as recreational boats. There were no problems reported by the police, security guards, or lifeguards, and the latter were busy keeping people inside the buoys, where they are safe from passing boats.
On land, hundreds of golf carts crowded the main streets of the island, especially Rueda Medina. At time the smaller streets became congested. There were also many scooters parked along the streets. There are business owners who complain about customers needing better access, and they would like more parking spaces created, for example at the area of the former Hospital Integral.
Government employees will enjoy a long weekend (a puente) next weekend, with Monday off for Dia de Madres (which is Tuesday, May 10th). Families are expected to come to the island to enjoy the weekend, judging by the hotel reservations. However, occupancy has been below 50 percent at the small and medium sized hotels.
On weekends, there are officers at checkpoints on the two roads leading to and from downtown, going southward to the rest of the isle.
