A U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Waesche (WMSL 751) boarding team approaches a panga after the crew interdicted the boat while patrolling the Eastern Pacific Ocean, Oct. 23, 2023. To ensure the panga would not drift too far, the small boat team marked the panga boat with lights and tied it to the Waesche. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Richard B. Uranga)
