On the 24th of February we went to Puerto Peñasco so external media could disembark; we were back in the Vaquita Refuge at midnight. The day started with calm weather, with a few diver pangas in the center of the ZTA. By 11:00 the swell and the wind increased, and we reached 50 knots of wind at some point in the afternoon. We had to go south with the swell, and we were able to go back to the ZTA at midnight.
