Cubans Head For Mexico To Dodge `'U.S. Sea Patrols,' & Mexico Dont Want Them!!!!!!!

Mexican authorities are getting fed up.... Now they know how the
STATES feel.... and islanders fear the trafficking is bringing crime to
laid-back Islas Mujeres, off Cancun.

The problem has grown so acute that Cuba's foreign minister, Felipe
Perez Roque, is making a rare visit to Mexico Sunday and Monday to
discuss solutions.

Thefts of boats for smuggling are so frequent that some insurance
companies require Florida owners to equip their boats with GPS —
satellite tracking systems.

That's how Mendez discovered his cherished Tranquility was stolen — the
system alerted him by cell phone and updated its location every 15
minutes.

"The entire time I was on my laptop, watching every move that they
made," Mendez told the AP in a telephone interview from Miami, where
has a daily show on WPOW. When he saw Tranquility heading straight for
Mexico, "I decided to jump on a plane and go and get my boat back."

He reached a dock on Isla Mujeres just in time to confront the men as they were tying up his boat.

"They walked by me. They're wearing my fishing hat! My fishing
glasses!" he recalled. But they didn't know he had alerted police, who
pulled out assault rifles and promptly arrested them.

"I showed them the laptop and I said, 'Look, this is where you stole
the boat, this is you in the ocean, this is when you went to Pinar del
Rio (Cuba), this is where you picked up all the people, this is where
you dropped all the people," Mendez recounted.
