Leer más...The exhibition of clothing made for the Patron Saint over the years was put on display inside the Church of Immaculate Conception downtown on the town square. The president of the Social Service Agency (DIF), Marthy Vargas, cut the ribbon to inaugurate the display. Hundreds of islanders enjoyed the start of this popular festival, which included the sale of Mexican foods and folk dancing groups that delighted the audience. The police kept the roads safe during the celebrations, when various groups were involved making rounds through the streets. The activities associated with this important tradition will continue with the most significant celebration being held on December 8th, when the fishermen, ferries, and island community participate in the procession of boats taking the icon out into the bay.

Leer más...The port remains closed for boats under 40 feet, due to the weather, which is expected to continue until Sunday. There are forecasts winds of 40 to 50 km/hr tomorrow, gusting to 55 km/hr. The nautical tour providers had a few hours of work on Thursday, although there was almost zero demand, and otherwise they have been in port since Tuesday. The Harbor Master opened the port on Thursday at 7:30 am but it was closed again at noon. On Tuesday the restriction on navigation was for boats under 50 feet, but today (Friday) the restriction was for boats under 40 feet, allowing some opportunities for work for the medium sized vessels. Cooler temperatures and winds kept people from the beaches, and instead they were shopping downtown or renting golf carts.
