The weather today was better than yesterday but still rough for fishing. The ZTA was empty except for one panga crossing northeast in the morning and another panga we spotted at 14:00 suddenly in the center area returning to San Felipe.
Two Navy vessels were out patrolling during the morning; the Interceptor was around from 9:00 to 11:45.
