Salvage crews close to refloating stricken vessel
Novedades reports today that the car and cargo ferry Bahia del Espiritu Santo, which beached near Puerto Juárez during Hurricane Wilma should be back in deep water in about one week. She will then head to Cuba for repairs.
The ship has been captured on camera by no fewer than three different contributors to the After Wilma photo pool; by Ozzy on October 30th, one week after Wilma, and more recently by Esteban on December 27th and Cliff two days later.

Any update on Bahia del Espiritu Santo. We stayed at the Blue Bay Club from 1/26 to 1/30 and watched as they continued to try to free the vessel. Cannot seem to find any updates on their progress.
