She still resides near the east coast, but is now off the waters of Florida. 

Katharine's East Coast Travels

Einstein

In the beginning, Einstein had traveled 3,038 miles, and as of today, he has traveled 3,080 miles. Since April 11 he has swam 42 miles. He is still in the water off the border between Texas and Mexico.

Katharine

She has not pinged since May 22, and she has still swam only 28,813 miles. 

Einstein

He has not pinged either since May 23, and his mileage has not changed. 

May 23, 2016

Katharine

Yay! She pinged yesterday. Her mileage went up less than 1 mile. 

Einstein

He pinged three times yesterday. His mileage is still at 3,080 though.

Katharine

She is still absent :( No pings, and still at 28,813 miles. 

Einstein

He pinged twice yesterday! However, his mileage hasn't moved for a long time, even though his tracker shows that he has swam quite a bit.

Katharine

She still hasn't pinged since April 14. Therefore, no pings for Katharine. :( She's still at 28,813 miles. 

Einstein

He pinged 3 times today! He has pinged quite a few times, but he never stays above the water long enough to track him fully. Which is why he is still at 3,080 miles.

Katharine

She still has not pinged since April 14! Because she has not appeared above the water, there is no way of keeping track of how many miles she has swam. Therefore, her mileage is still at 28,813 miles. 

Einstein

He sure has made his appearance! He pinged twice today, and twice yesterday. He is still at 3,080 miles.

Katharine

She has not been seen in a while! Her last ping was April 14, and she has not swam any more than she had last time on April 27. Her total mileage is still at 28,813. 

Einstein

He made it up to 3,080 miles! He still lingers around Texas waters and he has made quite a few appearances above the surface recently. In fact, he pinged twice today!

Katharine

She is now heading off the coast of South Carolina and heading farther out of the Atlantic Ocean.She has traveled 655 miles from the last update 4 days ago. Her last ping was 13 days ago.

Einstein

He is still close to the coast of San Antonio, Texas. His last ping was 10 days ago. Since the last update 4 days ago, Einstein has swam less than a mile.

This 14 foot shark is one travel bug! Since my last post she has traveled 399 miles and has now traveled 28,158 miles altogether. Her last ping (when she is detected above or near the surface of the ocean) was March 16 at 9:47 am.

Katharine's Trace

Einstein

He's not much of a travel bug like Katharine, but he sure likes Texas! Since my last post he has traveled 23 miles. His total mileage is now at 3,061 miles and his last ping was April 5 at 1:15 am.

Einstein the shark

Einstein was tagged right off Port Aransas, Texas. He is a mature-sized Scalloped Hammerhead shark. He was named by Debbie and Sam Isaacs in honor of Albert Einstein, a famous scientist. This type of shark is becoming very low and is concerning many scientists. Einstein also does his fair share of travel, but stays particularly close to the shore of Texas.
