235 days from now · likely between May 29 and Aug 9, 2027
Each point is the arrival date this page predicted that morning. When the line climbs, Oliver lost time, usually to light wind or a slow stretch. When it drops, he made better time than expected. Early on the estimate swings a lot; it should settle as more of the voyage is behind him.

Bars are the miles he actually covered each day. Before today the forecast is estimated after the fact (hollow dots): what this page’s method would have predicted each morning from that day’s archived wind and current. Over those 21 days he sailed 77% of it. From today on, each morning’s real forecast is saved.
How arrival is estimated: remaining distance follows an assumed eastabout route around Cape Horn, Good Hope, Leeuwin, Tasmania and New Zealand, then north to Port Townsend. The next 7 days use Open-Meteo forecast wind and ocean current along that route, scaling his pace this past week up or down by how Phoenix has done in similar wind; beyond that it uses a blend of this week and his voyage average. Changes in the estimate compare today's date with the one given on earlier mornings. Miles are statute miles.

That's 2.6 miles of ocean straight down, deep enough to stack 23 Space Needles. Drop Mt. Rainier here and its summit would poke out by just 454 ft.
