(This message was

removed)
Sometimes e-mail is the only way to communicate. The fishermen have
taken the main gate, and are occupying the Park areas.
There have been a lot of threats on the marine radio, and we have
been warned by the office of the Port Captain that they believe
there is a good chance they may try to take a hostage.
The fishermen are currently not letting or staff into/out of the
compound (with the exception of people who live here).
A bunch of students came last night and tried to occupy our docks.
They said they were told to come here and take the docks by Jose
Andrade, head of Municipality, and Maria Salcedo, head of Education
and Vice President of the Municapality(Spelling?). They left when
asked,
but came right back 20 minutes. After another talk by Chantal they
left.
The Police and Port Captain said they would send in troops at
Chantals request, but they never came. Everytime she called they
said "They should be there any minute.
When asked by our staff, the military said they have orders to
watch, and not intefere.
The military is making *NO* effort to restrict the movement of the
protesters, and are not very visible.
Chantal is going to talk to the group at the front gate in a couple
of minutes. I will write back when I have more Info.
Forgive the spelling and typos, I don't have time to fix this
up.
