August was a good month for US Customs and Border Protection P-3 crews as agents directed the interdiction of more than 15,000 pounds of cocaine smuggled on three different sea vessels. On 14 August, a P-3 crew based from Jacksonville, Florida, worked with the crew of a US Navy ship to seize more than 2,000 pounds of cocaine in the eastern Pacific from a specially built vessel known as a go-fast. Orion crews based in Corpus Christi, Texas, worked with the US Coast Guard to intercept nearly 3,100 pounds of cocaine on a fishing vessel 1,040 miles southwest of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on 24 August. The Texas-based P-3 then worked with the US Navy to interdict nearly 10,000 pounds of cocaine three days later.
