Looks like its wrapping round and trying to become a category-2 as well. Quite an impressive cane considering its subtropical origins.

We may well end up with about 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes and 5-6 majors - almost precisely as forecast. Yet most in the U.S. consider the seasonal forecast a big bust because no hurricane made landfall along the U.S. Coast. The public judge whether a season is "active" by one thing alone - if they're hit. No hits = forecast bust as far as U.S. citizens are concerned. Stories are already coming out about how bad the seasonal forecast was for the year.
Heck, it seems to me that there are posters on this site who feel that way, given some of the comments I see in posts on the Talking Tropics board.

Otto appears to be accelerating off to the NE and out to sea now. Doesn't appear to have much chance of intensifying beyond Cat 1.
Sounds good to me ... my preseason prediction was 17/11/5 ACE=175
