August 7 - Tons of Transmissions!

Yaana continues her movements from the bay into the waters just outside the mouth.

After more than five months and 37,000 transmissions (half again as many as advertised), the transmitter is still indicating good battery strength. Some tracking weirdness over the weekend---we have been getting a larger number of satellite "hits", which may be indicative of Yaana spending more time at the surface, or may reflect really calm conditions; and the final location Saturday put her in the middle of the island! Hopefully this just indicates a bad position that will be resolved with additional CLS data processing... And if not, well, she has been a lot more aquatic since then, as you would expect...
