The Navy received a call from a cruise ship who had received a distress call from the “Calypsa Fuentes”, saying they were without power. The Navy sent out the Uxmal & found the small yacht 71 nautical miles from Isla Mujeres, with two crew members aboard, and towed them to the island. No information was provided about the crew, but indications are that they are Mexican. In recent days there have been strong winds from the east-southeast, with waves over two meters high, which have kept the small fishing boats from working.
