Have you noticed that there was no posting for Camellia for a few days? That is because his satellite transmitter solar battery reached a very low level and the transmitter sent out no data between Oct 31 at 1:00am and Nov 5 at 2:00pm. Through other data we do know that during part of that time Camellia was near Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach. As of this map at 10am today he is south of the Chesapeake Regional Airport, east of US Route 17 and north of Cornland Rd in Chesapeake. Here are his data points – YELLOW arrow Oct 30 at 6:00pm, PINK pointer Oct 31 at 1:00am, GREEN pointer Nov 5 at 2:00pm, PURPLE pointer Nov 6 at 1:00am, and as of this map WHITE arrow Nov 6 at 10:00am.

Glad he is transmitting again, but do wish he would stay away from those airports. Go back to the golf courses, Cammie!
