Their projected course shows good strategy and sense right now. It isn't
straight towards Portland which would put them right in the ship traffic
lane and following it during the early morning hours when everyone on the
water is least attentive. Instead, they will go just past the beginning of
the southern lane and then come up to the Portland approaches about dawn
right between the two lanes. It's about the best they do to minimize the
chances of a traffic encounter. It looks like Skip is thinking pretty
clearly after several days short handed at sea.
