Vaquita survey resumed today at 5:45. The gaps on the hourly data are because on some occasions it was not possible to turn the radar back on. Several small boats were seen during the morning crossing from the northeast to San Felipe with nets on board; probably they spent the night fishing in the northeast area.
Between 10:00 and 13:00 we were in the northwest area outside of the ZTA, therefore we only could see the activity in the northernmost part. Around 17:30 the survey finished for the day.
In the evening we went southeast outside the ZTA to drift during the night.
