NA-221 UPDATE/CANCELLED — With regret we inform that the CONANP denied permission to be able to stay on the Island, and limited the stay on Lobos Island to hours that go from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Considering that the trip to the island is two to three hours according to the conditions of the sea. As you will understand, it is impossible to make an operation worthy of you, so we decided to cancel this operation.
MARCH 23, 2017 — This weekend, the XF2L team was scheduled to operate on Lobos Island, NA-221, however weather conditions are getting worse, predicting adverse conditions to navigation. For this reason the harbor master, has decided that on Friday, the day on which the outbound trip to the island is scheduled, the port is closed to the navigation of small boats. The provider of transportation services tells us that we would have problems even for the return to land. For this reason the operation scheduled this weekend 24 to 27 March 2017 is cancelled due to weather conditions. We hope that in May the weather conditions will allow us to visit isla de lobos as it is scheduled.
