Yeva, Farewell

Ella Hibbert has rounded Farewell Point and is currently about 35–40 miles off the southern tip of Greenland. 

The Yeva is deep in iceberg territory now, so Capt. Hibbert is keeping her eyes peeled and the sails reefed, but is still getting bashed about by the high winds. To handle the gusts, Hibbert's running smaller sails and the hydrovane is doing the steering. 

Today, the sun finally came out after three gray days at sea, which is a boost for  morale. 

This is now Day 17 of the voyage, and she's covered 1,217 miles so far. Hopefully, conditions will be calmer as she leaves the North Atlantic and sails the Labrador Sea into the Northwest Passage.
