Pip Hare's Vendee Globe stories - shark-like dolphins, no cheese, and the 'accidental' two-hour sleep

Poole sailor Pip Hare has returned home.

Now the 8th woman to complete the Vendee Globe round the world yacht race, we've been asking her for a few stories from her 95 days at sea.

Whilst she was away, we broke the news to her of the first Covid vaccine approval, live on-air, whilst she was in the South Pacific.

麻豆社 Radio Solent's Dorset breakfast presenter, Steve Harris, managed to get her a birthday message from Russell Crowe.

And Steve met her in Poole Quay yesterday to present her with a Dorset Care hamper.

Pip told us about missing chocolate, seeing shark-like dolphins, and an 'accidental' two-hour longest sleep.
