A Final Farewell to Dr. Chey
Cozumel is still reeling from the shock of the four souls lost in the fatal plane crash outside of Fort Lauderdale Florida one week ago. The entire week the media has been flooded with reports of the tragedy. Services were held for Mariana González Isunza last Sunday and today a farewell will be held for Cozumel’s beloved Dr. Chey. A mass will be held at Corpus Christi Church at 2:30p.m. today followed by an open house at Hotel Playa Azul at 4:15 p.m. The family asks that this be a celebration of life, wear white and bring white flowers.
New Docks for Tourist Boats
Cozumel will be getting a home for the tourists boats that can be seen picking up tourists signed up to dive and snorkel downtown. The Director of the Port Authority of Quintana Roo, Barron Barrera, confirmed that construction will start on a structure that will house two docks during the first quarter of 2014. The new structure is to be located next to the passenger ferry.
The project has been in the works for four years and the estimated cost has increased from the initial eight million, to fourteen million pesos. The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) finally approved the Environmental Impact Statement this week
The plan includes two docks that will occupy an area of 4914.5 square meters of reinforced concrete covered with treated timber. The two docks will be connected with each other and the mainland by bridges. It will have a capacity for 12 boats up to 40 feet long and 36 boats up to 30 feet in length.
