Surviving fire, flood and running aground on the Northwest Passage

Ella Hibbert is the first British woman to complete the infamous Northwest Passage. Ella sailed single-handed from England to Alaska, via Iceland, Greenland, and Canada, over a 4½ month period. Ella faced many challenges and setbacks, such as flooding, fire on board, and running aground, but still managed to successfully complete the challenge. Ella called in to the studio and told us all about her great adventure.
