Close Call for the Drifter!

Drifter 12-31-14

PHEW! Last time we checked in on the drifter, just two days ago, it was heading eastward in a wobbling gait. Our hope was that it would pass north of Provincetown and shoot outside of Cape Cod Bay, but instead, it headed right smack  for the fist of the flexed arm that is the Cape. We started scrambling – who do we know in P-town? – to figure out how to retrieve it. Then, it took a southward turn and scooted inside of the Outer Cape.

So, at the moment, we are still tracking. Still, coast watchers from Truro to Sandwich, be ready! You may be called upon to perform rescue number four!
