SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — It was about 1 a.m. Tuesday and after a successful night of fishing when Captain Markus Medak set course for a new fishing spot about 90 miles west of San Diego.
As he turned, something caught his attention out of the corner of his eye: A set of feint flashing lights going back and forth.

“I didn’t think there was a boat, they were moving erratically, it had to be someone that was in trouble,” Medak said Tuesday.
Medak decided to maneuver his sports fishing boat, the New Lo-An, for a closer look.
