Above are the ony locations from Jersey for the
past two days. Today
we have only a couple of single "hits". All of
these locations appear
to be farther offshore and it appears that
"Jersey" may have moved away
from the coast after the 23rd. These locations
are about twenty miles
or so offshore. Being that far offshore is not a
big problem by itself,
but it may be part of the reason we are not
getting many hits. It is
possible that she is swimming in such a way
that the tag is not clearing
the water to signal well. Another possibility is
that the antenna is
damaged or the tag attachment is failing. About
the only thing we can do
at this point is to wait and see what happens
next. If it is ether of
the first two, things will not improve. If it is the
latter, it is
possible that things will improve over time.
Hopefully we will see...
