An Adventurer to follow - Ella in the Arctic
If you are looking for an Adventurer to follow, then I strongly recommend you following @ellaintheartic.
This year Ella is hoping to be the first person to solo circumnavigate the Arctic Circle.
As of 20th July, she is 40 days into the challenge which she thinks will take her about 5 months. She expects to sail around 10,000 miles, through waters claimed by seven countries.
To date things haven’t gone to plan but each time she has hit an obstacle she has overcome it. She has the mental strength to make it happen.
You can follow Ella though her Instagram posts which are almost daily, unless things go pear shaped and she needs to spend the time fixing stuff. She talks about how she is feeling, the route she is taking, how the boat is performing, the technical challenges she faces, the arctic weather and the amazing wildlife. It’s a great watch.
I was lucky to meet Ella and my Keel Over Sailors Rum is inspired by Ella.
