No, it's the German folks who installed their WWI Fokker to track

The Saturday morning TV indicated that the weakened Category 4 Wilma
had whipped up some 20-foot waves in Cozumel and Cancun.

I am scheduled to be in Coz on Nov 9 and Nov 16, on the Star
Princess!  :-)  Gossip has it that even if the cruiseship Piers 
are blown away, the cruise ships can still send passengers 
ashore on their tenders.  I am more curious about the ONLY
ocean-front condo in Cozumel, which Albert and partner had
been able to bribe the Coz Gummint into issuing the permit,
and had been peddling them up to half-a-million bucks USD
a unit, and are supposed to be built "hurricane-proof", 
stood up to the assault of Karina and Wilma.  Albert was
trying to sell me one of his condo units at a "bargain price"
of 300 Grand, and I laughed at him why should I do it when
"my" Large Penhouse Suite at the Bahia were still charging 
me less than $100 a night at peak tourist season.  :-)

da Feeesh.
