Humanitarian Vessel Missing

Information from Carib News October 8th

Cancun Quintana Roo; September 30, 2021. A Mexican vessel that brought humanitarian aid to Haiti, has been missing since it entered the Yucatan Channel.

The vessel, MOI Guadalupe, was returning to the Riviera Maya, after carrying a shipment of five tons of humanitarian aid to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

Emiliano Miño, communication and liaison officer of the Cancun AC International Rescue Brigade, stated that on September 11 the boat sailed from Puerto Aventuras, in the central part of the Riviera Maya, and reached the Caribbean Island. However, on the return trip, contact was lost in the international waters between Cuba and Cozumel.

“We lost communication with them since Tuesday, September 28 at 12:30 on their return route from Haiti, the report has already been made to the Captaincy of the Port of Cozumel and the Cuban Coast Guard,” he said this afternoon in a telephone interview.

According to the information he provided, it is an 86-foot-long white yacht of the Haterras brand, with the Panamanian flag, traveling with four people.

The Cozumel Sun Book Exchange & Store Update

The book exchange popularity continues. Unfortunately, still have more activity to exchange books than to purchase anything or use our services. We have had a wonderful response form readers that are planning to come to Cozumel soon and have volunteered to bring children’s books and puzzles.

Happiness this week was a local young man about ten years of age that accompanied his mom to get copies made.The youngster noticed the few books in the children´s section and jumped for joy! He took one book with him and returned it yesterday evening. He is returning in the next few days to look for another!

Merchandize Overstock

HELP! Please check out the sales items when you come into the store. In stock are items that you purchase on a regular basis such as lotions, shampoo, conditioner, sun block, deodorant, and soaps.

I have a huge overstock of cosmetics purchased by my adopted family that they never sold. At this point and time, I just want to get rid of the items, please come check them out. You will find them priced super low. Consider giving them as gifts to your friends, family or even workers for this coming holiday season!

Consider us for your school, office, and art supplies. Use our services of printing, copying, laminating, and internet café. We even bind books and pamphlets!

The Doorbell is Working!

The doorbell is operational! If you see the door closed but the gate open, we are in there! When the air-conditioning is on, the door is kept closed.

We are in the store daily to clean disinfect and organize. We disinfect the puzzles and books as they come back in! I am in the store when composing The Cozumel Sun or doing bookkeeping tasks. Otherwise, we do not have outside help, so we are cleaning house, washing clothes, and cooking. We do not close the store for meals, so we might be grabbing something to eat. We keep the door close the door for security reasons if one of us is not in there. (Someone could easily get in by cutting the screen).

New Store Hours

Monday – Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sundays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
