Slow Boat to Australia - Episode 3

[@vowe2music]

Slow Boat to Australia is now my favorite KZbin show. Rock on, Pip!

[@Fr3DDy73]

totally agreed :D

[@michaelseydel3373]

I totally agree! Pip's smile at the end of this video made my day! 😄😄😄

[@a.e.neumann8949]

With your bad luck you' ve won the race to our hearts before the whole race is finished! ❤⛵🎉

[@hsnaith]

Mine too! I really look forward to these posts - they make my day!!

[@isabell-f7j]

No fuckin' Navy Ship out there?

[@derekhathaway]

This is now one of the best channels on KZbin! 👏

[@werner-z2p]

Great job

[@susann2103-g9o]

Absolutely. Pip is incredible. 🎉

[@neilb2793]

Agree

[@teeaitch4534]

definitely 😍

[@sailingbraveheart]

Yes in deed

[@dellngakuru]

I wait impatiently for the daily “slow boat to melbourne” updates. You’re my hero Pip! Thank you for bringing us with you on this adventure.

[@frankregel4766]

Forget the Rest of the Vendee globe.Pip is the new favorite programm.two days after Desaster struck and Spiritus are Up again . Pip is the best.🎉😊

[@sailingbraveheart]

Can't hold a good woman down :)

[@nielshofkes2831]

While I can fully understand Pip’s initial despair and frustration shortly after the dismasting, it’s great to see she is back smiling and in a cheerful mood. These slow boat episodes are so much more entertaining and educational than any of the other Vendee Globe videos. It goes to show that although it is technically a race, the attraction for me (and probably many others) in following the race is not so much in whoever is going fastest but all about the resilience and perseverance of the sailors and how they deal with the various problems that they encounter. Pip is a great example of how to cope in difficult circumstances, with some good English humor too! It’s really amazing to watch, and a must-see for all aspiring solo sailors.

[@fabricesalvetti331]

Trop trop forte , bravo 👍👍✊️✊️

[@OliverBatchelor]

Sailing McGuyver.

[@floodo1]

Indeed. The accomplishment is amazing for all involved

[@sailingbraveheart]

Hard work solo sailing ah

[@MelissaMorenaFranco]

Pip, you are a huge inspiration to us all!! I cried when you told of your dismasting, and I now laugh out loud watching Slow Boat to Australia. Your enthusiasm, perseverance and good humour are contagious! 💝⛵️

[@sailingbraveheart]

Same same

[@ronnewsam6129]

You make it sound like so much more fun than the actual race. Go Pip.

[@noorwortel]

I can 't stop smiling! 'should I stay or should go?' Go Pip, go!!! Love, love, love this film💖

[@Anga-fq4tj]

Pip, you're an absolute genius! If I got stranded on a remote island with you, I wouldn't have any sorrows on how to cope! You're intelligent, optimistic and you've got lots of humor. Go Pip, go!

[@investigativeresearchcounc8388]

You already won the race of hearts!! Go Pip Go!!

[@sailingbraveheart]

I think so :)

[@gf04rce76]

What Vendee race - This is “The Adventures of Pip” - rocking it to Clash - Awesome 😂

[@JakMang]

INXS and Midnight Oil next

[@ukuleleponcho6492]

Le Slow Boat c’est tout simplement magnifique, Pip a inventé un nouveau genre de course en mer, j’adoooooore, Pip tu es si merveilleusement vivante et radieuse, quelle élégance, quelle paix, quelle grâce, quel bonheur, ici les mers australes ressemblent au Paradis, il ne te reste plus qu’à pêcher une langouste australe pour le réveillon de Noël ❤

[@kihe3301]

Pip! You are doing great! Thank you so much, that you share your big moments with us. ❤ Cant stop smiling and be happy with you.😊

[@darrinpoirier4736]

This is fantastic. Go Pip Go! Your determination and positive attitude are inspirational!

[@derektion2]

I am loving this new slow boat to Australia series. The excitement you had when your new rigged up dail working was pure joy to see. Fair winds and following seas Pip. Much love from Canada

[@INTELIBUILD]

“Going to be ballistic” what a star! You’re an inspiration Pip. Love your attitude! Stay safe

[@Mezig34976]

What a joy to see Pip so happy!... What a lesson also for those who whine while they're still in the race...! Even without a mast, this event remains a real human adventure, and Pip is without doubt its most "luminous" representative!... Bravo and respect madame!

[@pierre-andreleroy4047]

You show us a magnificent example of what resilience is and what it means to make the best of a bad situation. You are an example to us all. God bless you.

[@sandiego29061993]

from the worst that can happen to the best show on KZbin. It makes me smile every time Slow Boat TV shows a new episode :D

[@rcpmac]

All of a sudden nobody is paying as much attention to the Vendee leaders

[@sailingbraveheart]

Yes I think so too

[@oscarparadis1356]

Good to see Pip smiling again. Fair winds for your "cruise" to Australia !

[@hobie1827]

Pip i think like maybe many others. YOU are the real Winner of this Vendee Drama. Neptun bless you💨⛵

[@dough8656]

The definition of resilience through adversity = Pip Hare. You are an amazing human-being and an example to everyone of how to react when life gets hard. 💪

[@lt-rr6if]

Slow Boat to Melbourne, reality show is just what I need to tackle my to do list and get my speed up. Thanks Pip you are an inspiration

[@shaneriehl223]

Pip is astounding, and such a cool human. So much fun to watch her figure her way out of this.

[@holgerhoffmeister204]

Who cares about the Vendee Globe when you can follow the Slowboat live broadcast? OK, maybe you won't win the race this time, but you've definitely won the hearts of the fans! We love you, your fighting spirit, your humor and, last but not least, your resilience!

[@TaygetaBlue]

So happy that we can vicariously ride along with you, on the slow boat to Melbourne!! What a joy to witness your progress, Pip! We are so proud of you! Rock on! (Love that music you listen to, too!!)

[@rjs10002YT]

Pip you are so amazing to watch. Your sense of wonder, joy and humor as you sort through all your challenges is just so fun to watch. Bravo! Best show on KZbin for sure

[@barrygoffe]

Pip, you are my hero! So inspiring to see you dealing with adversity with a smile on your face. God speed to Melbourne!

[@djpWilson]

Pip making lemonade = turning disaster into an amazingly entertaining adventure! ❤️

[@bfat5380]

Hats off Madam ! Thank you Pip for sharing your endless positive mind and your comforting smile in your second race - almost - around the ocean. Glad to see you winning this one with all honors.

[@PhilipSandall]

I absolutely agree with all of the positive comments posted here. Pip truly is a Superwoman.

[@andrewthomson7126]

Absolutely stoic and interesting Pip. Your resilience and humour are wonderful and a lesson to all us not so adventurous sailors

[@Winterbourne_Workshop]

You’ve lost one challenge and gained another and seem to be relishing it. Love watching your inventiveness.

[@Plutokta]

So glad to see you in such a mood! I guess it's a whole new adventure now, fascinating in its own right! Sail on Pip!

[@Bikesails]

Definitely the most exciting bit of Vendée globe at the moment!! Go Pip!

[@michielsky]

Hey Pip, love to see how you have adopted the new reality, making the best of it. Exemplary!!!! Thank you!

[@janiceshort5210]

Your enthusiasm Pip is inspirational thank you.

[@georgemorris9971]

That was the most extraordinary, inspiring sailing video I have ever seen. When people remember you they will not think 'Pip Hafre, did a bit of ocean racing, did the Vendee a couple of times -p did quite well actually', they will say 'Pip Hare whe was dismasted in the Southern ocean and not only made a jury rig but filmed the whole thing in detail and uploaded it.!

[@fabiocurti3822]

Pip your arrival to Melbourne Is gonna be your real victory. Great woman hat off!!!

[@GjBob]

Your enthusiasm is contagious!! Now this has become my favourite part of this vandee globe!

[@susann2103-g9o]

Pip, you are really the hit! This is so much more fun than the race itself. Love your spirit. What a rolemodel you are. ❤

[@evoeve1]

Another episode, another hat, love it Pip your rocking my world

[@funkyfender1]

I’m really happy with five and a half knots on my Cape Cutter 19! Well done Pip… what’s not to like… you’re bloody inspirational and failures wash off you like water off a duck’s back… you truly possess an indomitable spirit… lots of love and respect… praying for fair winds ⛵️⛵️⛵️🫶🫶🫶🙏🙏🙏

[@AF-zi2ju]

Slow Boat to Australia is now my favorite Newtube channel. GO PIP! 5 Point 3! GO!

[@sailingbraveheart]

She is amazing :)

[@bwtcf]

The scene with you stitching the head strops onto the trisail and singing along to Should I Stay or Should I go was sooooo cool. And then the joy on your face when you got it up and hit 5.3 knots. Brilliant Pip. Goon onya mate!

[@gb5205]

COURAGE Pip , tu vas y arrivé apparemment tu as le moral cela fait plaisir à voir , nous te suivront jusqu'en AUSTRALIE comme ça tu seras moins seule !!

[@sheadford]

Awesome new series! The new, Hare-raising adventures of Pip and Medallia. Keep it up, and good luck! I am confident that the folks of Melbourne are going to give you an absolute heroes welcome when you get there. You deserve it!

[@gordonc2377]

“This is going to be ballistic”!! 😂😂 gotta love Pip’s attitude and enthusiasm. I imagine there will be quite a welcoming fleet upon reaching Melbourne. Go Pip Go!!

[@bucc5062]

Oh how our view of reality changes in context...5.3 Kts..."I have a half an hour of pure speed". Pip, this is a master class on so many levels...ingenuity, emotional recovery, positive thinking, and the right song at the right time "Should I Stay or Should I Go"...clearly you are going 🙂 I don't know if you'd ever read this Pip, but I so understand the roller coaster of emotion this moment has been for you. I had worked hard a long to get my horse and me ready for a show after 3 years away; 11 days before the event he foundered, came close to being so bad as to end it, and yet with the help of an amazing team, have started him healing again. You are on the slow boat, I'm on the slow recovery path, but like you...I work the problems and look up to the goal, not down in despair. I know Vendee is about blasting around the world, but I just loved that moment when you panned around and exclaimed..."there is so much color". Sometimes slow allows us to really see what is around us in the now. You will be back to fast action and I hope to see you in the next VG, pushing the limits again.

[@etiennelaubscher5336]

Pip, this is more exciting than the Vendee globe. lol

[@ChristianHoldenMan]

So fantastic that you're sharing this, while the race is charging on without you. You are a Super Hero! Respect.

[@MichelBertrand]

🎶Should I Stay or Should I Go 🎶🎶 You're definitely GOING! Cheers! 👍👍🤙🤙

[@jhisbell]

It seems, whenever I travel, if everything goes according to plan, the memory fades quickly. The most memorable experiences are those where there's some sort of disaster. It brings out the best. I hope there are many young people watching this. It's the kind of example that should be the inspiration for us all. Some allow adversity to dominate - others relish the challenge. Pip, I think you've got a huge (and growing) crew pushing Medallia through the waves!

[@sloopyjoe1777]

I think this is more fun than the race. More to the point, I think Pip thinks so too!!🎉😂 Bravo Pip.

[@jo-sailing]

Pip you are writing sailing history. This VG always will the one with "Pips Slow Boat to Australia" 🙂

[@dprout3392]

Pip is an incredible lady, so much part of the Vendée Globe saga. My very best wishes to her although she doesn't need wishes, she is capable of taking care of herself, smiling. A true beacon.

[@drmartininderbitzin]

Ballistic Pip!! 🚀 Go for the new speed record on Slow Boat!

[@sailingpolly-adventuresona9709]

Loving your soundtracks and lovely to see you smiling and keeping busy Pip Your jury rigging story is even more intertersting than the race now 🎉❤

[@cynthiamorton3583]

You are fantastic! Beside the expression “rise to the challenge”, there ought to be a photo of you, Pip. This is a real reality show. Go, go Gadget Pip!

[@OCteahead]

This is like watching Shackleton's crew in their tiny James Caird! So fascinating to see, not just read about after the fact. Thanks, Pip!

[@lindanewland9502]

Go, go , go Pip! You got this. Love your “I can do” attitude and that tri sail actually looks very professional and best of all you are celebrating 5+ knots! Funny yet poignant.

[@Hornbaek-07]

Fantastic. Best Vendee coverage. You’re a star Pip !

[@colaoliver1587]

Brilliant. A sailmakers palm!!! The Clash and the shear joy on Pip's face was great. What a great set of videos.

[@comex4035]

I love the ingenuity and skill together with the positivity Pip displays, onward to greater knot speed!

[@carolefell-smith8477]

Crikey! As a total land-lubber who knows the square root of zilch about sailing, the utter joy I'm having watching Slow Boat to Australia is beyond measure!! Pip, you are an inspiration. Your resilience, humour and utter determination in the face of unimaginable disappointment of having to abandon the race is.....well, I can't even find the words. The excitement at increasing your speed by 4 knots having fixed and devised a way of using another sail made me laugh and sing along loudly with you. Thank you so much for sharing all your ups and downs with us mere mortals. Respect. Stay safe and keep smiling! (PS: One thing I do know about is Chococo. Best chocolate in the world....)

[@SingYourselfWell]

You're amazing, Pip. We love you so much, and wish you great success setting sail and arriving safely and happy in Melbourne!

[@stevecrabb1]

You squeezing a knot or two more out of your boat has livened up the VG immensely. Great work.

[@saravah7]

Pip, your slow boat is the new « Appolo 13 »! ❤

[@betula-pendula]

😅 Yes that is right! Neptune, I have a Problem... But you are doing the best job. This shows your big personality! One of the best skipper in the world with funny hats (for every day another hat?) Greetings from Germany

[@jeremyshell]

Hi Pip! Thanks for the update. I am so inspired by your ingenuity and positivity…you go girl. So proud of you. You’re a legend.

[@ohnezuckerohnefett]

That's why it's called a trysail ;) I must say I am blown away by your ability to make lemonade out of lemons. Quite educational, too. Go the mighty Medallia!!!

[@Pali65]

Pip stole the whole show now. Amazing!

[@MrGritteeth]

Episode 3 is worth a GOLD MEDALLION! Your triumphant laugh is infectious. Time has now been reduced to reach Melbourne, by your sheer genius. No one will ever be able to match that.

[@jasoncarbis7751]

I’m enjoying how your coming up with ideas and tactics to get to Melbourne without a rig …. more than the race 😂

[@patrickmooney4135]

I have to admit that I find this problem solving just as exciting as the race itself. Nothing I like more than a happy Pip! God Bless.

[@sailingbraveheart]

Indurance sailing ah.

[@simplicity6564]

"I just need to put a better head on this sail, and then we're going to be ballistic!" The Clash...Go Pip, Go!

[@Anmeteor9663]

Wooohoooo. 120 miles a day @ 5kn! Youll be in Melbourne in under a week. That will be great to see Pip safe in harbour🎉 but sad for us all who will lose the best sailing channel story on KZbin 😢

[@lorrainemilford6157]

This is like a video book unfolding! Pip, your determination, sense of humour and excitement is infectious. Your use of nautical terminology is impressive. Love your updates.

[@alangurley4152]

GO PIP, YOU ARE A JEWELL! I HAVE A HUGE CRUSH ON YOU, I'M SURE I AM ONLY ONE OF MILLIONS THAT DO! CHEERS FROM LILBURN, GEORGIA USA! BE SAFE AND STAY STRONG AND SHARP!

[@AnnInghamlife-goals]

Just love the music, sitting dancing and singing!! That song has attitude!

[@barendgarvelink]

Your spirit is amazing. Next edition of Oxford’s dictionary will list “resilience” under the letter P.

[@erikhedl2084]

Pip you are my hero! Your laughing at the end as you read your speed, true grit!

[@CharlieNovember19]

When I grow up I want to be just as resourceful, resilient, and fun like you, Pip!

[@craigchristie404]

Yeah this is the race to watch.

[@ColinMcInnes-i5n]

It may be overcast and grey outside but when Pip comes on with her infectious smile the whole room lights up. Her superb updates are becoming legendary already. Just look at all the comments and replies. Trysail mk2 looks impressive. Perhaps the 10 knot goal will be achieved. If your fighting spirit and determination could be bottled and sold you would make a fortune. Bon vent Pip! 👏🌬️💨

[@tomcat1213]

Absoltely great spirit she has. Don’t struggle with the search for the reason, but better spend the energy for the solution. Love her smile ❤

[@harrybick3068]

When she arrives in Australia, she will certainly be greeted as if she had sailed across the finish line.

[@paulw9293]

Ah Pip we've been feeling so much for you as a fam given the bad luck you've had - your resilience & positive vibes burst thru the camera! The ingenuity of your sail mod is amazing. Best wishes from the Noosa Hinterland in Queensland Australia 👍🙏💪

[@kirstengoetz929]

Back to the smiling Pip! You are amazing! You make my day!

[@RefitandSail]

Brilliant, go good to see you smiling and (dare I say it) enjoying yourself on the boat as you perfect the jury rig. You can take the mast out of the race boat but you can’t that the racer out of Pip!

[@ChrisMartin-zn2mr]

Pip you are one amazing lady. Brilliant video’s in the face of adversity.

[@piotrstelmarczyk5869]

Slow Boat to Australia is an excellent sailing school. I have been sailing on the Baltic for 65 years and I have always managed.

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

Never seen anyone so elated to be doing five knots, well done Pip.

[@renskespoelstra-hess8985]

Another epic episode of the Slowboat! Thank you, Pip!

[@demosthenes8631]

My first year following the Vendee. YOU are the most interesting story of the whole race! Keep on keeping on!

[@davidtomasetti8520]

Your adventure is just as exciting as the race itself, the way you are dealing with this is an inspiration for many… please stay safe !!
