We wanted to let everyone know that Dylan's tracking link is up and running!!! Please use this link to check on her status:
http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/?tag_id=84648
Please be advised that it usually takes at least 24 hours until the tracking is up and running, however we put in a rush order! There are already a couple of "hits", and it might look like Dylan is ON Jekyll Island, however this is not the case. These first "hits" are low-level and are not very accurate, but at least we know she's transmitting! Within the next day or so, she should transmit some high-level "hits", which are much more accurate, and give us a better idea of where she is, where she's going and what she's doing.
On behalf of the GSTC Staff, I'd like to thank: everyone who came out to the release, well-wishers that weren't able to attend, Adoptive Parents, UGA 4H-Tidelands, Georgia Aquarium, GSTC Volunteers, all of the local media and Good Morning America, who are providing national coverage on Dylan, the GSTC, and sea turtles worldwide!
Sincerely,

Any Dylan fans have a video they can upload? :\
After watching Dylan grow from a hatchling to the beautiful loggerhead she is now, it's a bit bittersweet seeing her head off into the sea. It's wonderful to watch her movements on the satellite map and know she's exploring her new world for the first time. May she return to the sands of Jekyll for many years, laying her eggs on the beach where she hatched ten years ago.
Go, Dylan!!
