Mary Lee and Genie are being tracked.

These are the names given to two great white sharks that are not a regular thing in the waters off Florida's coast, but that's where they have been found.

Mary Lee is 16 feet long and she was spotted swimming within 200 yards of the beach in the Jacksonville area on Tuesday.  The 14.8 foot Genie has been staying in deeper waters. 

Researchers tagged the sharks off the coast of Cape Cod, Mass. and have been tracking them since. 

Will the girls be visiting our area?  That information would be helpful to know if you are planning a day at the beach.
