Ella Hibbert and the Yeva are now making some substantial progress and are about to clear the northwestern coast of Iceland.
The red line above is her planned route and the greenish line is her actual progress. That northward-pointing spike that looks like a shark's fin is where she had to tack north to take on the waves in a storm on the Norwegian Sea. It's also where the Yeva's electronics got corroded when the cockpit filled with seawater, necessitating her stop in Grimley Island, that smaller, south-pointing dimple on the green line just left of the red arrowhead.
She's now passing the northernmost tip of the Westfjords, and then will turn south in the Denmark Strait to sail around Greenland.
