Tracking progress of Ella Hibbert on her incredible journey

Hey guys 👋🏻 Just checking in from the North Sea, no land in sight, just endless blue all around, and honestly… it’s one of my favourite places to be. Last night the wind completely vanished, so I had to go under engine to dodge the shipping lanes and wind farms. But it came back a few hours ago and we’ve been sailing ever since, downwind on just the genoa, expecting some big gusts later today. The hydrovane’s doing all the work, and I’m just soaking it all in. Let me know in the comments if you’re enjoying these daily check-ins. Do you like the vlog-style updates? And if there’s anything you want me to dive deeper into; sailing tech, routines, navigation, mindset? Drop your questions below! 💬 #ellainthearctic #capitalcom #capitalcomadventure #AMA #outatsea #sea #adventure #dover #weather #emotional #expedition #sailing #yacht #solosailingwoman #woman #navigation #environment #climateaction #globalwarming #ice #eco #savethearctic #ocean #nautical #exploration #fearless #journey #support #share

The ocean teaches you patience, precision, and presence. I’ve spent years watching and documenting the rhythm of wind and water, always drawn to the edge where nature and human effort meet.

That same spirit is what inspired the Ocean Adventure Team, a crew of kitesurfers I’m proud to support. As well as, who will be circumnavigating the North Arctic solo. They are all redefining what’s possible out there.

These are not just athletes. They are explorers of mindset, resilience, and discomfort.

So we’ve created a space to celebrate them, a new channel showcasing the journeys of Capital.com Champions from across the globe who are pushing past limits every day.

Some fly. Some drift. Some sail. All evolve.

If you’ve ever felt that pull toward the unknown, toward adventure, this is for you.

What does your version of adventure look like?

Follow to witness what happens when mindset meets motion.
