Subject: location data, seal Albert

Mike et al,

Albert continues to send locations.  He is still long overdue to molt the
transmitter, so who knows how long this might go on.  Recent positions show
him a bit to the north and west off the coast of northern Labrador.  We get
no dive data from this tag, but I became a bit suspicious over the weekend
when we received several location fixes based on many satellite"hits" (as
many as 13!).  This would mean Albert would have to be at the surface for
nearly the entire pass of the satellite (not the kind of behavior one
generally sees).  Checking the location of ice in that region it looks
likely that "Albert " has found himself some ice to haul out on.  This
would also explain why he is not moving as quickly as he was a week ago.

(you can check on the ice conditions at http://www.cis.ec.gc.ca/home.html)
