We have an amazing chat to a women trying to do a world first. Ella Hibbert is embarking on a record-setting, never been done before, solo and non-stop Arctic Circumnavigation - a feat that has long been considered impossible. Ella's goal is to raise to raise awareness about the challenges the Arctic is facing due to the effects of global warming on the polar north. She is raising awareness and money for the charities Polar Bears International and Ocean Conservancy, to support them in their work to help protect the future of the Arctic.

This week we talk to India Syms who at 23 navigated Outlaw, the Baltic 55 in the Ocean Globe Race 2023. The OGR was a round the world race recreating the original Whitbred Round the World race. All the boats were pre 1988 and all the tech was the same as 73. So India navigated with a sextant, a weather fax and dead reckoning. We had a bit of fun with this idea whilst the race was on. Now it was done, we wanted to find out what it was like. We really enjoyed this chat. We think you will as well.
