    Ahh Backspacer won't cross the line!

    She poked her nose a couple of times on it! Seems that the dotted line on the map is a real physical boundary for her!!!!!

    hehe...it has inspired me to make a small donation!

    thanks for the updates, Kat - left or right... hmmm..... ;) figured it out, though! good exercise for my eyes...

    Yay for some help with Backspacer! :mrgreen:

    Let Backspacer sing !!!!!! She seems to have the swimming down pretty well if the latest race update is any indication.

    I didn't know jack about leatherbacks.

    Go Backspacer!!! Finish up strong. She's f'in hardcore. She came from the farthest point north.

    To my understanding, none of the males stand a chance in the race. Won't they wait til the beaches are full of breeding to head to land?

    Day 10:

    "Backspacer spun around and buzzed past Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada, but she hasn't crossed the finish line. Nueva Esperanza also twirled in place and is now pointed toward the west, as is Seabiscuit. Cali is now near the continental shelf of the U.S.—he might even be heading back to Canada. Estéban is cruising toward the finish line now."

    Day 11:

    "Backspacer continues to dance around the finish line. Wawa Bear did some more loops, so she must not be ready to lay eggs yet. Estéban is cruising fast toward the Caribbean, looking to enter via the Windward Islands. Nueva Esperanza and Seabiscuit have peeled off from the rest of the group, but Nueva is pointed toward the Caribbean Sea and Seabiscuit toward the Guianas. We still haven’t heard from Billy, so it looks like his transmitter has stopped working altogether."

    My daughter got into the turtles' 'plight' when we were in Greece a few years back... She's supporting Searcher because it's the smallest one in the race and she thinks it deserves a bit more support as she is competing against bigger and stronger!
