Cozumel residents awoke to a bit of a surprise last Sunday morning when a large offshore support rig, the Floatel Victory appeared on the horizon. After much speculation, local news sources reported that the Floatel was passing through in route to the northern Gulf of Mexico. The vessel, which has living quarters for up to 500 people, drafts 28 meters in depth, making the channel between Cozumel and Playa del Carmen an ideal passageway for the massive boat. Since the ship was so close to Cozumel, company representative took advantage, and changed out 29 crew members, before continuing on their voyage on Monday.
