Betty has moved a bit farther offshore, but is still generally parallelling the shelf edge as she moves SSE off the SW coast of Florida.

Betty - November 20

Betty continues to the south along the continental shelf edge.

Will she follow Clyde's path around the tip of Florida?

Will she turn back into the Gulf for another round?

Will she go to the Caribbean?


Stay tuned.

Betty - November 26

Betty has turned south along the 1,000 m contour off the west Florida shelf, as can be seen in the attached 4-day track.

Betty - November 25

Big milestone today---we have reached our target on Betty's tracking. The two-month mark was the goal on this project, and we have made it. Battery strength suggests that, after 14,000 transmissions to date, we may be able to continue to hear from her for a while.

Betty continues toward Florida, moving to a position about 105 km SW of her release site, and about 320 km west of her stranding site. Betty has been making a number of dives to 400-600 m depth, and staying down for up to 10-11 minutes.
