These two are the ones that receive the cargo . The third boat is long , sleek , and open , more like a speedboat , but larger. This vessel has 4-5 heavily armed persons on board its function is to act as a sentinal and to guard the activity. The activity takes place in open water, the water here is rather shallow, (30-40 feet) and appears to be near something like a ref . There is an island nearby where there is a base of operations. The cargo is taken to the island and is flown out from there. There appears to be an airstrip here that was abandoned long ago. However, I'm not sure whether the airstrip is actually used for this operation, or if amphibious aircraft are involved . Perhaps both! Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000600630001-6
