BT Team Ellen

Hey classmates,
now in my first entry, I will show you what Ellen MacArthur did during the last decade.
The story about her that is published in our English textbook is 9 years old. Now she doesn't sail alone any more, now she has a Team. The BT Team Ellen. I added some information about it.


I hope you will like it

with kind regards,

Daniel
