Ep:#10 Pip Hare: Setting sail solo around the world

What this episode covers

On November 8th, Pip Hare will start her journey racing around the planet by boat. Non-stop. Solo. This is the Vendee Globe race. It’s only open to a very few sailors, and this year only 33 sailors have qualified. Pip is one of them. In the whole history of the race, only 87 sailors have finished it, and only 6 of them were women. For Pip, this has been a 29-year journey to get here. And there is still so much involved to finish the race. What does it really entail? What does she worry about? This is an incredible story you don’t want to miss. If you’re looking to see where sheer focus and determination will get you, have a listen. Follow Pip on her journey at her website Pip Hare Ocean Racing or on Instagram @piphareoceanracing. Bons ventos Pip! Good winds! We are with you.
