 3.   (S/STD/NF)  018 reported that the vessel is in port in a marina at
 approximately 12 Degrees 15 Minutes North and 67 Degrees 30 Minutes
 West.  The vessel is carrying contraband in the bilge (waste water)
 tank.  The drugs are presently waiting for someone to come by the
 marina to pick up the drugs.  The drugs will be delivered to a home
 at house address #5 on a "CORK" or "DRIFTWOOD" road/lane/street/etc.
 The drugs will be off-loaded on the southwest tip of Florida, at

 4.   (S/STD/NF)  025 reported that the vessel can be located at 11 Degrees
 12 Minutes North and 62 Degrees West.  The vessel is currently
 carrying heroin.   It is packaged in pouches and the term "terrain
 station" surfaced as to the location of the drugs aboard ship.  The
 ultimate destination of the drugs is Puerto Rico.
 5.   (S/STD/NF)  049 reported that the target vessel is currently located
 at 79 Degrees West and 19 Degrees 20 Minutes North between Jamaica
 and Grand Cayman Island.   It is traveling in a northwesterly
 direction.  The target is carrying contraband.  However, the
 narcotics are not a conventional type of cocaine; it is solid, dense,
 and tightly packaged.  The contraband is associated with long tubes
 which resemble the type used for storing navigational charts.   These
 tubes, in turn, are hidden within a cavity in the bow area of the
 vessel.  The contraband is to transferred to another vessel at sea
 south of the Ferrebonne Bay area of southern Louisiana (between 90
 and 91 Degrees West and 28 and 29 Degrees North.  This will take
 place during the Memorial Day period.  The vessel receiving the cargo
 resembles a small fishing trawler or "shrimper."  It's nets are
 frayed and the characters "V, T, 7, 0, and 3" are associated with
 this boat in some way.  There is a tall, heavy-set man with a heavy
 black beard and untucked flannel shirt on the pick-up boat.  The
 pick-up time is early morning and it is gray and foggy.  The pick-up
 boat will come from an area which is predominately tidal estuary.
 The destination of the contraband is a location associated with the
 name of Flambeau or Flanareaux.  The tubes which are associated with
 the contraband are 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and 3 feet long.
 They resemble navigational chart tubes.  These tubes are both stacked
 vertically and horizontally a cavity in the bow of the vessel.  The
 tubes rather resemble a bangalore torpedo.  The cavity occurs behind
 the bow-side wall of a small room or where a passageway widens a bit.
 There is a triangular shaped wooden object which sits center and
 attached to this wall.  Cushion covered benches are on either side of
 this wooden object.  There are window or portholes above some of the
 benches.  The wooden object is reddish with tan trim.   It is
