Simon Currin and his wife Sally started their circumnavigation in 2015. They started in the high latitudes by cruising in the summer season and leaving their boat, Shimshal, a 47-foot deckhouse built by CR Yachts in Orust, Sweden, in various locations around the world while they went back to the UK to work. Ten years later, the couple has reached New Zealand and is full-time cruisers. You can read more about their adventures on Voyages of Shimshal. Simon is a former commodore of the Ocean Cruising Club (OCC), and Sally is a former Treasurer of the same club. OCC is a gathering of sailors with vast amounts of miles under their keels, and it has an extensive network of port officers worldwide. Check out their website: Ocean Cruising Club.

Podcast 179: Ella sets NWP solo record
Ella Hibbert (28), aka Ella in the Arctic, took on the North West Passage solo and came out in the other end exhausted, but happy. She is the first British female to sail the mytich passage solo, and only 14 have done it before her. Now she is putting Yeva on the hard, and then she will continue through the North East Passage next summer. We talked to her while she was storm-bound in St. Paul in the Bering Sea. Ella's Arctic expedition is officially endorsed by the Scientific Exploration Society and she is also part of The International SeaKeepers Society. You can, and you should follow her and support her.
