We arrived back at the ZTA shortly before midnight. Something that was believed to be a buoy was in fact a small boat that left the area before 2:00. The Navy was informed about them.
Small diver boats started to arrive at the center of the ZTA after 6:00; there was a maximum of eight which all left by 18:00.
During the evening and night there were small boats in the Vaquita Refuge east and south of the ZTA.
