By ERIKA I. RITCHIE | The Orange County Register | Published: May 6, 2021 (Tribune News Service) A gray, stealth-looking vessel with an American flag drew the attention of people out on a whale-watching charter early on Wednesday. The boat was spotted about half a mile from Dana Point Harbor, just off Capistrano Beach. Speculation at first ran to whether recent reports of panga boats along the Southern California coast may have drawn law enforcement or teams from the Department of Homeland Security off Orange County waters or if it was a privately owned vessel. There are several civilian boat owners with military-looking vessels in Newport Harbor.
