Yesterday from the City--Because the tourism infrastructure, including the hotels and
restaurants, did not suffer damage from the passage of Hurricane Delta, the municipality of Isla Mujeres is ready to receive the
thousands of visitors that year after year prefer this vacation destination to
enjoy its tourist attractions and its beaches in optimal conditions.
Isla Mujeres -which is a favorite destination for both national and foreign tourists--is in ideal condition ideal to continue its orderly and responsible economic reactivation. It is receiving visitors this
weekend, offering them a green, healthy island with beaches in excellent condition.
This is attributed to the rapid response of the municipal government after the passage of Hurricane Delta, as well as the preventative actions and teamwork which minimized the impact, and made recovery of the beauty that characterizes this destination easier and quicker. With intense efforts, the brush and debris were rapidly removed from the streets, the beaches were restored, and this Pueblo Magico was ready to receive visitors this weekend.
Isla Mujeres is characterized by having a culture of prevention and preparation that undoubtedly contributed to the rapid reactivation, and is why the island was cleaned-up within days of the passage of the hurricane.
Yesterday Naval personnel responded to a call for assistance and rescued the boat "4 Hermanas" (4 Sisters) with one male aboard, which was adrift 4 km (2 nautical miles) northwest of Isla Mujeres due to mechanical failures in its propulsion system. The man was in good health and left under his own power after he and the boat were taken to the Naval dock, where it is expected that the staff with the Harbor Master's office will complete the required procedures.

Turtles continue nesting in October.
They
nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and
volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen
outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres,
Greens, Loggerheads,
and Hawksbills. The season officially ends on the 15th, but monitoring
continues thru the end of the month. Photos of nest hatching out at
MaraVilla Caribe Bed & Beach, that was missed by the Tortugranja
patrols.

It is usually a slow shower with a meteor every 10-15 minutes. But it is known for having 'bursts" of hundreds or thousands of meteors in occasional years, which aren't predicted with any certainty. "Meteor showers are like fishing. You go, and sometimes you catch something."
Oct

activity after midnight and the maximum amount in the pre-dawn hours of
Oct. 20th & 21st . These are "shooting stars" from Halley's Comet
& occur from early October to early November as the earth passes
thru its debris.
