Five operators execute a deep amphibious strike into Baja's most remote coastline. Enduring long-distance movements across bays, sand dunes, endless beaches and rocky coastlines, the team arrives intact and conducts heavy amphibious operations on the target site for several days before being extracted by locally contracted fisherman.
Unfortunately turtle meat is still sought after by some locals. It is the coastal equivalent of bush meat and a sad practice. Much has been done to educate the locals and especially the fisherman in this area. Thanks to http://www.wildcoast.net 1,000's of turtles have been saved over the past decade.
Recon for alternate water sources with a purification pump and iodine tablets proved fruitless. An afternoon view of the gorgeous estuary with endless sand dunes behind it.
Here SSgt Mauro and Captain Setian sleep outside on their cots on the abandoned drug runners deck above the lapping surf of the bay and under a full moon.
A fisherman's grave-simple and stoic.
Mauro brushes up on his 'Special Operations in Desert Terrain' publication under the sun in between sessions.
SF Captain Setian offers sashimi to the team.
Our lucky yellowtail catch.
