Are you ready for the world girdling dash around the globe?
Well you should be, but if you’re not, this is the last call call to get in position to watch our plucky patron and 32 other super sailors take on the world.  They are at the start line, primed, crouching and just waiting the bang of the starting gun at 1230 on Sunday 8th November.
Come on Pip we are with you, go, go, go.

So here’s a few bits and bobs to make your armchair sailing a little easier, here’s a link to the Vendee Globe Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/VendeeGlobe/  you can also download the Vendee Globe App and you’ll get regular reports from Pip’s Facebook page.
