Ferry service between GITX and the mainland was briefly interrupted when a private yacht anchored in the ferry channel. Traffic in both directions was stopped for a little over an hour until the Coast Guard arrived and forced the yacht to move. The boats operator was apparently napping below decks and did not know he was in the ferry channel until his vessel was boarded by the Coast Guard.

The GITX Sheriff’s Department reported that 34 people have received emergency treatment for heat related illness in the past four days. The majority of the individuals were tourists but a few of them were “locals who should know better than to get themselves into that kind of situation” according to Sheriff Emmanuel Mendez. Two of the cases required the patients to be transported to the mainland for continued treatment.
