You were randomly auggest3d to me and I am at the beginning of my sailing journey at 50. You are an inspiration. Go Pip!!

[@mlj9931]

Love to see shots of the boat sailing. The methodical approach no doubt helped to detect issues early. Very little discussion on the routing west which I thought was very well played.

[@julesc8054]

Wow pip the whole world. We all behind you. The boat looks amazing.

[@susann2103-g9o]

All the best. Love it so much how happy you are sailing around the world ❤

Great run down the western side - believe in your own choices - ignore everyone else doing fab 😀👍

[@kevgermany]

Good to see you looking so happy and relaxed. Also good to see you moving up through the field after the poor early days. Long race, we're watching out for you.

Around the world! Hope you arrived mentally in the race. So amazing that you record environmental data (being an oceanographer myself). Stay safe and race fast!

[@braxsor1999]

This report is why I have followed you from the 2020 race. Your willingness to share what is going on for you and the boat is captivating. Keep doing you.

Go Pip! Excited to follow you on this voyage for the second time.

Well done Pip, out of the doldrums in 16th on Tuesday afternoon looks good.

Lets Goo Have fun

[@ightwoman]

Closer to the front of the fleet where you belong! I think it is hard for many of us dedicated viewers to grasp the relentlessness of the struggle of the Vendee Globe. You have incredible strength and dedication, and I look forward to following your pace in this race for the next 2 1/5 months. Also, I loved the shot of you looking towards the setting sun and drinking tea!

[@mboykin6047]

Go Pip!!

[@robertketch]

At last you are getting into a good groove - I think you had a tough start - expect top ten by the end of this week fingers crossed. Go Go GO
