ARE WE DRILLING FOR OIL?
On Sunday morning we treated our family of seven to breakfast at Primas after attending Church. To our astonishment, right outside of the breathtaking floor to ceiling glass view, there appeared to be anoil rig platform, smack in the middle of the channel! What fun we all had trying to guess what it was and what it was doing there.

To our astonishment, right outside of the breathtaking floor to ceiling glass view, there appeared to be anoil rig platform, smack in the middle of the channel! What fun we all had trying to guess what it was and what it was doing there.
“which measures 89.96 meters long and weighs four thousand 362 ton appeared to be tied to the” platform Floatel Victory “that has a weight of 18 000 995 tons and has a length of 98.2 meters. The platform was fascinating; it had four huge pillars and a crane of some sort on top. One article noted that each of the pillars was controlled by four motors each. It was also a self contained, “live aboard” structure. Initially speculation was that the platform would be used to perform the job of extending a cruise ship dock. We later learned that the structure being towed by the boat stopped at the island to change crew and continue their journey to the Gulf of Mexico.
Maritime authorities allowed them to remain for 12 hours, two miles (3.2 kilometers) off the coast of Cozumel. Both vessels are from the Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The reason for their arrival was to have a crew change before continuing their journey to the port of Veracruz. One newspaper reported four Europeans, seven technicians and 29 crew members spent the night at casa Del Mar before boarding flights back to their base in the United States on Monday.
The presence of the platform that was anchored at Caletitas provoked astonishment among the people who passed by Rafael E. Melgar Avenue, some people took the opportunity to take pictures of the team and shared in social networks.
According to Internet portal http://www.floatel.se/ the property of the company Floatel International platform, was delivered in November 2013.

AN URGENT NEED TO REVISIT INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEATH WHILE ABROAD
I reported in our last issue that the United States Consulate Office has closed in Cozumel and all non-emergency matters will be handled in the future by the consulate office in Playa Del Carmen. It was also announced that they were taking applications for a part time employee that would handle emergencies, such as death, medical emergency, and imprisonment. I assumed Anne Harris would be handling these emergencies until the new person arrived; I was wrong. We must call the Playa Del Carmen office at 984-873-0303 or Vonage (US): 202-370-6708. The emergency number 01-999-942-5700 directs us to follow directions to connect to the duty officer.
In the worse possible way, I discovered I have not provided enough information on the matter; a dear friend of the family passed away Saturday afternoon while vacationing in the island. No one saw this coming, of course, when something like this happens, you just do not think properly. Everyone vacationing should know if your insurance is accepted at any of the local hospitals. Ambulances are privately run, and get paid by taking you to certain clinics. Have a name of a hospital or clinic available and demand to be taken there. Have enough funds in your credit and debit cards to cover medical expenses, and funeral expenses, including returning the remains home. Consider purchasing fight insurance. Changing a flight departure date due to illness or death can cost up to $400! Flight insurance can cover medical expenses not covered by your regular insurance company.
Have these instructions and numbers written on a card that you carry with you at all times. In emergency situations you do not think clearly enough to remember who to call. Our friends did not contact us until they had already been charged and paid $2,000 in medical bills, and $4,640 for funeral and cremation services.
