The F/V
appears to be a companion vessel for the sailing vessel
described on 24 JUL 90 (JT4-76-90). The sailing vessel acts as a "stop and shop" for
drugs for users who want to buy at sea, but also has the capability to offer drugs in
"investment" grades and quantities, offers a "brokerage" service for those who want to
invest in other smuggling operations (both drugs and other goods), and even offers a
SG1A range of "utility" services, proferring drug-related paraphenalia, information, contacts, etc.
to its customers.
acts as some sort of a supply ship or floating "store
room" where the people on the sailing vessel stockpile goods until needed. The ship
SG1A identified w/ C/S
is metal, motor powered, and is ready to be scuttled
at a moment's notice. The sailing vessel is "kept clean" for all appearances, carrying only
samples for the customers. In reality, however, it has cocaine "built" into its sub-flooring
and is, itself, for sale. A high enough price can buy the vessel "as is" in order to get the
cocaine.
The man running this operation may be Indian (from India). He seems to have a
loose, but strong connection w/South American drug sources as well as Asian and
European sources to provide more "exotic" wares. The companion ship,
has a small staff which consists of men and young boys. They are well drilled in safety
procedures, in case scuttling becomes necessary. The boys have a sense of "a year at
sea", for extremely good pay.

The target is a fishing/trawler vessel with several boom-like projections extending
from the deck. It's condition is unkept and damaged. The bridge/cabin area has several
odd angles associated with the front of it. The vessel produces an overly large amount
of exhaust/smoke while running. There are nets or something woven hung "out in the
wind" but are not being currently used for the intended purpose. The vessel is not
fishing. It is towing something behind it that is rectangular in shape and tapers down from
the front to the rear. The target is associated with C/S
and the U/I S/V.
SG1A
The target is acting as a "look out" or early warning system for the
operation. Impression that either the target or the U/I S/V will fake becoming hung up on
the bottom or a reef and the other vessel will come to help. This ploy will be used in
order for the two vessels to meet. The target and S/V will then take a parallel course
(with each other) after the meeting. Additional information: The name/term BAPTISTE
is important to the target vessel (former name?). The activity of the target has something
to do/revolves around the area near the life ring on the starboard side of the deck at the
rear of the cabin/bridge section. There is an access in this specific location to the forward
hold area under the bridge/cabin. This forward hold area is mostly empty at the present
time. There are objects within this area that have to do with "folding out" from the sides
of the vessel. The target is not currently carrying narcotics but has been "dirty" in the
past.
