recently picked up drugs and is presently
carrying these drugs in a horizontal compartment located under the stern decking. There
was an impression that either they or the drugs already on board are presently being
exposed to sea water, probably unknown to the people aboard. The drugs picked up
appear to belong to a middle-aged woman who is on board, and appears physically unfit
for the trip. The owner of the vessel evidently decided "in for a penny, in for a pound",
and decided that if he got caught with his own drugs, it would not matter if he had
someone else's on board, too. If he makes it undetected, he will be all that much better
off for having two loads aboard. The destination is planned for the Texas coast, either
Brownsville or Galveston.

at 23 N - 87 W above the Yucatan Channel. It is going to the coast of Antonio, Texas
(28 N 96 W) in the Gulf of Mexico for small business reasons.

OOF: (311306 JUL 90) The S/V suspected of being C/S
is presently
located at 22 00 N 89 54 W. It's final destination is somewhere within the middle Florida
Keys within the vicinity of Marathon Key. I could not ascertain if the the vessel is carrying
drugs per se but it is carrying a number of large, pillow shaped objects wrapped with
shiny white plastic-like material. These objects are stacked together below deck and
towards the rear of the vessel.
OOD: 311355L July 90
The sailing vessel is now located at 18 N 86 15'W. It is carrying a large load of
cocaine. The drugs are stored within the hull of the vessel, towards the rear, covered up
and made to look like part of the vessel itself. A possible destination is New Orleans,
Louisiana. Something about this vessel and/or operation is "special". A possible name
associated with this target is "Sinbad".

SG1A
Target: 33 foot S/V (described in
case BUSIA
Background: The 33 foot S/V described in the case as
possibly picked
up a load of drugs in the past three days. It is probably enroute to, or through, the
Yucatan Channel to a location on the Gulf Coast of U.S. It is unclear whether this S/V
is C/S
and whether it is actually carrying drugs.
EEI:
1. Where is the S/V now?
2. Is it carrying drugs?
3. What is its destination/intention?
4. Provide any associated information available? (concentrate on operational details,
attempting to get a name or callsign, if possible).
