Dry Dock
These boats have been in dry dock for the last 5 years we have visited Cozumel. I’m not sure when they are scheduled to return to sea? They made for a wonderful image with the sun setting behind them. I was really hoping to get a sun star shining through the windows, but I was just a bit too slow to the draw. Good thing we visit Cozumel yearly, I will have another shot at it…..unless of course they decide to re-commission these vessels.
