From the blog post it sounds like the agenda is to get to pick up Elsa, fuel and head to Hawaii to celebrate with the participants.

Does everyone have to end up in Asuncion? I be damned, but this girl probably wants to be elsewhere ASAP....

Hurricane Hernan is headed in Elsa's general direction. She will probably see some wave action from that, but not the wind.

That's what we need to worry about. Not the Asuncion "famous" and their drinks an parties, but getting her home!!!! Wherever, no party needed.....

But it is always good for promotion and advertising. Nothing wrong with doing business.
Wherever Elsa goes, we hope she is safe and has a good journey.

Wow, definitely a tough crowd! I got in touch with Shari as she's in a possible landing spot and has details online. She's been amazingly helpful and
given a ton of advice and connections - thank you!
Support plans, landing point and onward recovery are all still TBC, but I'll share as things firm up. Looking forward to a possible visit to Baja - it
does sound amazing! And Elsa and I only got engaged a couple of weeks before she set off so definitely a combo R&R/brief vacation is in order.
Thanks again all,
Steve

I was only mentioning what was said about the Cloud Nine ketch, the support boat. I really hope Elsa is in Bahia Asuncion when I arrive. It would be
terrific to meet her.

Cloud Nine's AIS position
Go here: http://www.marinetraffic.com
and search on "338173139" (the MMSI number for THE "Cloud Nine").
or try this:
http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-117.3722/c...
Elsa has been out of range of shore based AIS for some time so she can't be found here. Cloud Nine will also drop off the map before intercepting
Elsa. Cloud Nine should be able to pin point Elsa on their AIS box once in range.

(Correction) Loosely, 33 hours. About 5 am on the Wednesday the 30th.
It is not really clear that they will be able to tow the boat. It may end up being crew recovery only. That will be interesting.
