Mike, et al,

Hmmm.  

Locations for both seals over the weekend, but as usual, strangeness.

"Casino":

Appears to have stopped moving south along the coast, at least temporarily,
and moved to shore and hauled out (for about six hours on one day, maybe a
bit longer).  Most of his locations are clustering around the area he
appears to have hauled out.

"PoeGo":

"PoeGo" has continued further up the Bay of Fundy (actually not even in the
bay at this point).  Although we have not gotten any messages that he has
hauled out, he is getting close to shore.  Actually the shore is getting
close to him as the bay narrows and gets shallower.  His dive behavior
shows the shallower water depth he is in right now.  This is an area of
extreem tides and currents.  One would think, he would be getting the hint,
but we will see.

Oddly, both seals are only about 75 miles apart right now one on either
side of Nova Scotia.

Go figure.

Cheers,
