Yesterday evening the wind increased to 20-22 kts and furled the jib a bit, sailed the night with staysail and partially furled jib.
This morning unfurled for a while then furled again since wind increased back to 19-20 kts.
The suggested route (avoiding high winds) by the very good program qtVlm suggested to keep heading East for another couple of days.
So no course changed for a while.
