Betty - October 26

Betty continues to move counter-clockwise through the southern Gulf of Mexico, along the edge of the shelf.

It appears that the location shown for Betty in shallower water on the map distributed yesterday may have been an artifact of location data quality, as subsequent and better-quality data points for the day showed her along the edge of the shelf.

Betty - October 25

A month after her release, Betty is moving through relatively shallow waters (50 m deep) NW of Yucatan. She is not too far from the edge of the shelf.

Betty - October 24

Betty is moving NE along the shelf edge NW of the Yucatan. Seas have been very rough in the area as a result of a front passing through, so signals have been fewer than usual.

Betty - October 23

Betty has moved to the 200 m contour NW of the Yucatan. She has been covering an average of more than 100 km/day for the past few days.

Betty - October 22

Betty continues her circuit of the southern portion of the Bahia de Campeche, paralleling the 1,000 m contour as she moves to the NE. She continues to make occasional dives to 400-500 m, and stays down for as long as 10-11 minutes (though 9 has been more typical). Battery strength is good; she has only used about a quarter of the expected lifetime transmissions.
