Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Sept. 19)--A Navy patrol boat, the Whidbey Island, moors alongside a Coast Guard cutter before the cutter gets underway assisting in Operation Able Vigil between Cuba and the Florida Keys. Operation Able Vigil got underway in mid-August when the number of Cuban rafters rescued in the Florida straits skyrocketed above the month of June's record of 1,173 to 2,607 in a single week of August.
