posted (October 3, 2016)
Welcome back...picking up where we left off, we were telling you about the Mexican Naval Vessel, called the "Independencia", which was docked in Belize City as part of the celebration for Belize's and Mexico's 35th year of diplomatic relations. But before the celebrations started, the Mexican Navy showed their commitment to the relationship by saving a Belizean man who was drowning off the coast. According to the report, the crew of the "Independencia" spotted a person in the water making distress signals. Rescue swimmers immediately went to his aid and hauled him on board where he was given emergency medical treatment.

The Belizean man's small boat had apparently capsized, throwing him overboard. He was later handed safely over to the Coast Guard.
