Celebrate with James Ketchell Live From the Atlantic Ocean

Description

Celebrate with James Ketchell Live From the Atlantic Ocean

In July, British adventurer, James Ketchell set sail from Gosport, England on an ocean adventure of nine months and 30,000 nautical miles. James was setting out to achieve his third circumnavigation of the globe and become the first person in history to do so via air, sea and land. He has already cycled around the world and was the first person to fly a gyrocopter around the world.

Now he is in the Atlantic Ocean and closing in on his starting point in the UK. Join in for a catch up on this incredible sailing journey around the world and check out some photos and stories, live from his sailboat as he nears the end of his third circling of our planet!

The aim of the project is to connect with classrooms around the world, live from the boat. He will be sharing stories of fun, adventure and educational content, as well as inspiring young people to pursue their own goals and dreams. Join in as James has just left Cape Town, South Africa and is beginning the long sail across the Indian Ocean to Australia.
