ISLA MUJERES, 11 de mayo.-
The leader of the teacher's union at the island's middle school, Diego Genaro Gonzalez Aguilar, explained the agreement was made at a national level between the union and the SEP (Ministry of Public Education). An official announcement was issued by the SEyC (Ministry of Education and Culture) that all staff will have Friday off in honor of Teacher's Day.
In Isla Mujeres, a celebration is planned at the El Pescador Beach Club on Thursday, May 12 at 7pm, with about 500 teachers, active and retired, expected to attend. A raffle is planned with the prizes including a late model car. On Thursday morning, there will be a ceremony honoring teachers, and giving recognition to those teachers with seniority, who have been serving the community longest.

Ultramar parking garage elevator broken
Desidia de Ultramar +] Ver mas Photo & full article at this link
May 11 The elevator has been out of service for five days at the parking garage of the Ultramar ferry terminal in Puerto Juarez. One of those affected, Dolores Chavez, complained that going up and down the stairs to the third level causes pain in her knees, due to rheumatoid arthritis. Saying there was a lack of response to her request at the ticket office to have it repaired, she contacted Por Esto.
Users of the parking garage include hoteliers, restaurateurs, retailers, and the general public. It is noted that the parking is not considered cheap, therefore it is only fair that the elevator should be repaired. There are concerns expressed that the quality of Ultramar services could decrease now that the Magana ferry has been "retired".
Weather restricts small boats to port
Restringen navegación marítima [+] Ver mas
May 11 Due to strong winds from the east-southeast the past two days, the port authority has restricted vessels under 40 feet to port, affecting fishermen, sports fishing and trips to Isla Contoy. Port Authority representative, Jose Vicencio Borges, explained that boats of 40 feet and larger were allowed to conduct normal activities.
The weather report from the SCT (Secretary of Communications and Transport) says tropical sea air is expected to affect the coastal areas of Quintana Roo causing partly cloudy skies with a chance of light to moderate scattered showers. These could be associated with electrical storms, and the possibility of squalls which can cause rough seas, increasing winds and waves, and possible fog in the morning and very warm temperatures. Winds are expected to be from the southeast at 30-40 kph (16-22 knots) in the coastal and sea areas of Q Roo, with higher gusts and waves of 1.5 to 2.1 meters (5 to 7 feet). It is advised that small boats should be cautious.
This adverse weather is happening a few days before the scheduled start of the season for viewing and swimming with the whale sharks in Aguas Azules and the Whale Shark Biosphere. The season begins Sunday, when authorized boats up to 40 feet long may transport up to 10 tourists, in addition to the crew and guide.
