Ambergris Today got a call late afternoon yesterday, Thursday, March 11 (4:00pm) about a barge stuck on the reef. We set to investigate the matter and upon arriving on site, 8 miles north of San Pedro Town (close to Blue Reef Resort), we discovered that the 20-foot barge had flipped over and was lying on top of the coral reef. Ambergris Today was first on site and was quick to contact the proper authorities to follow up on the matter before more damage was done to the coral reef. Speculations are that the barge was being tugged by another vessel outside the reef in open waters and for some reason was cut loose, drifting towards Ambergris Caye. Upon hitting the reef, it flipped over and lodged itself on the reef. There were no signs of other vessels in the area at the time or personnel who could have been on the barge. Ambergris Today will keep you posted.

It was a mob scene much like the Hollywood Paparazzi chasing after Britney Spears, as Cristian Castro made his arrival to the Isla Bonita this afternoon on board the Reef Rocket of Discovery Expeditions. One of the most gigantic crowds, ever, littered the beach in front of Cholo’s Sports Bar as people wanted to get their first glance at the international artist. Cristian’s escorts had the terrible task of attempting to disperse the sea of people in order for Cristian to make it to his golf cart. He was escorted to his hotel room immediately after. Cristian is scheduled to perform at the Costa Maya Festival tonight, August 8.
