Yeva, Beset

 

With 18-foot waves and 45 mph winds still blowing through the north coast of the Shetland Islands, Ella Hibbert decided to spend one more day harbored in Lerwick, Scotland before embarking for the Arctic Ocean. Also, she bruised her foot while installing a grab rail next to her captain’s chair aboard the Yeva and will give herself a day to let the swelling subside. 

Once finally at sea, it will take her a few days sail to reach the starting line at the Arctic Circle for her solo trip around the Arctic Ocean.
