7/6/2010 iKermit Map from the Last Month


Aloha All-

Kermit, our Oahu adult male seal, has been off island since about May 30th. He hasn't transmitted since he left and I was thinking maybe he had returned to Niihau where there are no cellphone towers. Alas, I was wrong. Kermit instead made an oceanic voyage. I haven't looked at all his dives yet, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of deep diving though he may have hit a couple of the shallower sea mounts. No idea what he was doing, but his greatest distance from shore was 250 miles. Total trip was about 1 month.

The rest of his track, the return to Oahu, should download on his next phone call.

Cheers,
Charles

    wonder what is out there.... other seals? cheap eats? any resting places? What was iKermit doing out there....

    I am loving this tracking information... it just ads another dimension to these little lives...
    Thanks Dr. Charles.
