Authorities in Chetumal are reporting that a boat (water-taxi) that ferries passengers between San Pedro town and Chetumal had to be rescued, and that bout 65 people onboard were rescued by the Mexican Navy.
The incident occurred on Wednesday night August 17th. at approximately 7pm. in the Chetumal Bay.
However, astute observers believe that there is a lot more to the incident than reported. The Mexican authorities have made an obvious effort to not publish photos of the people rescued and it is rumored to be all Americans, and that several individuals from the boat believe their life is in danger from other Americans on San Pedro and their operatives in Mexico, and are seeking the protection of Mexican Authorities.
