21 Oct:   Bluebeard wasted no time in getting from Cuba to Colombia. The two locations just west of Hispaniola are not the most accurate, so he almost surely rested briefly in Haiti. We had no locations for him until very late on the 20th, so we don't know exactly when he began the trans-Caribbean crossing. The location on the 21st was actually just before 11PM on the 20th, so he probably left Hispaniola late on the 19th.
     His landfall was just east of where Jaws has been hanging out for almost 3 weeks, and about 400 km west of Elsie's last location in Venezuela. He got to South America only 4 days after Elsie, despite her 26 day head start.
     If he follows the behavior we've seen in other adults, he will rest a bit here and take off in a hurry for his well-known wintering area.

The Osprey-ometer now reads 2647 mi. (4261 km). The Cuba-Colombia trip was 703 mi. (1131 km).
