Drake, the deep thermal glider, is heading back out into the open North Atlantic from the Virgin Islands. There are two strong eddies in the altimetry, and Drake is heading for the strong current jet to the east that runs between the eddies along 20 N. Drakes waypoint was just reset, and it looks good.
Back to the east coast of the U.S., Danny is heading up the coast, is currently south of Hatteras, and will be offshore NJ tomorrow afternoon.
RU05 is patroling the NJ inner shelf for the NJ Department of Environmental Protection. We’ll turn RU05 offshore at midnight when it next surfaces to head for deeper water as the Danny passess.
And out of that jumble of surface positions and current vectors, RU27 emerges, heading east. Scarlet is on her first 8 hour segment since the Nevertheless arrived only yesterday.
