Float 393 was deployed west of the Virgin Islands and north of Barbados in December 2004. It circulated offshore the Lesser Antilles for about 1,000 nautical miles before it was picked up by a curious fisherman in late January, 29 miles south of Barbados. Colored dots show locations where it surfaced. The blue line marks its track. (Illustration courtesy Jim Valdes, WHOI)[back]
