Position Update 9/13

Columbine continues to make good progress north. At the WeatherGuy's suggestion, we are now bearing a little more west, so our speed has increased. The winds have been strong all day, and are predicted to remain so for the next few days. Good for our progress, but more tiring for us.

We now have a very preliminary estimate of our arrival in Friday Harbor, where we plan to clear customs and sleep before tackling Seattle: our electronics say October 3 at ~2am. A lot can happen between here and there, so take this estimate with a grain of salt.

Our current position information is:
