Today the sea state was slightly rough and we saw no small boats in the ZTA, just some crossing. During the morning we spotted about five small boats crossing northeast. A Navy vessel defender was patrolling for some hours in the morning.
At 22:00 we started heading to Puerto Peñasco for provisioning.
