Between Cuba and Florida Keys (Sept. 19)--The Coast Guard Cutter Mantinicus (WPB 1315) patrols the waters off the coast of Cuba alongside a navy ship during Operation Able Vigil. 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.
