This morning we saw about 10 pangas crossing to the northeast area, some of them with fishing gear on board. None of them stayed in the ZTA. The Navy warship Vallarta has been all day in the ZTA, moving from the north area in the early morning to the south area in the late morning, and stayed there through the afternoon until just before 17:00, when they left to San Felipe. One Interceptor was also around the ZTA during the morning; it was seen moving between the warship and San Felipe, and also in the south area of the ZTA.
