Don't Cross the Streams!
Atlantic Buoy has gone full circle in two months. Overlaying the state of MD for a distance comparison. Rough diameter is 100 NM.

Strange Attractor?
Atlantic Buoy seems to like the area near 43.5N and 22W. It's been within a 50 NM radius of that location for the past two months.
