The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise is coming to Cancun.

There was some negotiating to do, but we have been given permission to bring the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise to Cancun.

It will have to sail it's way past the two Mexican navy warships off the coast and sail under skies cleared of all commercial flights to reach our berth in Porto Juarez, a few kilometres from Cancun.

Originally, we were not going to be granted permission to come near Cancun, but would have to anchor many miles away.

Now we have to overcome the little matter of a hurricane, called Isabelle, that is off the coast and is approaching fast.
