It’s all been said, Pip, and very eloquently and fulsomely, but I feel compelled to add to the catalogue of praise that’s you so richly deserve: a million congratulations on a wonderful feat of seamanship, and thank you for your inspirational example of courage, determination, humility, honesty, good humour and all the best human qualities that we would all aspire to. Sincerely glad you have arrived safe and sound.
We have the winner of the VG24! Seeing you in good spirits is so uplifting. You are a true modern hero. In spite of all, have a great landfall. We'll miss your incredible optimism and power in this race 🖤
While there is the verb “to prepare” for adversity, there is a new verb “to piphare” which is to overcome tremendous adversity with applied knowledge, focus, grace, and joy. You have set an example that goes well beyond just sailing. I will try and remember to “piphare” whenever unexpected challenges arise. What an inspiration you are!
I had a few tears in my eyes, seeing you arrive finally after your slow boat journey to Melbourne. I'm glad you made it safely back - although, as many have written before, we will miss your inspiring daily updates! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us! And now take some time to rest and relax before starting into the next adventure. And you made it to Melbourne well before New Year's Eve!
I'm incredibly happy that you made it safely to Australia and received such a warm and caring Welcome from the locals in Melbourne. I'm very impressed not only by your sailing and 'crafting' skills to get the boat and yourself to save shores. However what impresses me even more and I think is a role model to us all is the positivity you shown us on your videos documenting this wild ride over hundreds of nautical miles. Not letting the negativity drag you down in this very challenging situation - mentally and otherwise - but focus on the way forward, improving your situation one step at a time, one day each day. It is the mark of an incredibly mental resistance that hopefully inspires us all in our daily lives. Three cheers for Pip, indeed!
Dear Pip from Cape Town. Your seamanship is unbelievable. Absolutely inspirational how you changed a such a total disaster into your slow boat to Melbourne and doing something every day to make a positive difference. Good luck for the next chapter
Wonderful sequence of slow videos. You're safe, the boat is safe. That's all that matters. Many thanks for being able to share your journey and travails.
Glad you made it safely. You were my best entertainment for the last few weeks. As someone who lost his wife 8 months ago, you have shown me that it is possible to pick yourself up & move on. ❤️🇨🇦
What's left to say Pip? You've changed the world - not all of it obviously but a significant event none the less,. The Slow boat to Melbourne showed us the beautiful side of a human being, sharing the highs and lows, tears and smiles, giving all finish the race. Thank you Pip, thank you so much ❤
Me too, blowing my nose like crazy! Happy she made it safe & sound, but sad that this part of her adventures are over. Still, we've got 4 years of getting ready for the next one to follow. Silver lining.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for sharing the daily small glimpses into your process. I'm absolutely glad that you made it, but also I will dearly miss your daily videos!
Congratulations Pip! What an achievement. Not only did you sail Medallia safely into Melbourne but you had the bravery to record each day and update your followers with your progress in such an honest and open way. The ‘Slow Boat to Melbourne’ has been the highlight of this Vendee Globe and you certainly deserve all the kind comments that have been made. Roll on 2025. I can’t wait to hear your plans. 👏💐👏💐👏💐
Our modern societies are all about racing and rushing, making us sick all the way. The marvellous success of your Slow Boat is more meaningful than many, and even you yourself, might think.
Die Siegerin der Herzen! Liebe Pip, Du hast diese Vendee globe bereichert und es war schön miterleben zu dürfen, wie Du nach dem Mastverlust tottraurig nicht aufgegeben hast und mit Deiner stets guten Laune und viel Kampfgeist den Weg nach Melbourne nun geschafft hast. Ich Danke Dir fürs mitnehmen und wünsche Dir eine gute Heimreise.
So pleased you made it. Gonna miss the Slow Boat. Enjoy some R&R before the hard work starts all over again. Don’t be a stranger on here, keep us updated please. And well done to the Aussies for making you so welcome. Happy New Year.🎉🎉🎉
I had to watch it two more times, especially the part where you're eating your fruit and berries, haha. So important to eat fresh, raw foods, after all this time of freeze dried. Congrats on your remarkable feat, Pip!
Bravo! Your courage and positivity has shined to all of us following you in your slow boat! Can't wait to follow your next episode of the "fast boat" around the world!
We've followed every second of your videos since the start. So very happy that you've made it safely to Melbourne. The way you faced adversity is an example to us all. Wishing you a safe journey home.
Well put Adrian.I just admire the way she picked herself up from what must have been floor level. Right down there. She responded with such a great positive methodical approach by doing a bit every day. It just have been a lot harder than she let us know. Great stuff Pip!
Les dauphins t’ont accompagnée jusqu’à Melbourne pour veiller sur toi, et lorsqu’ils ont vu que tu étais en sécurité et avec des humains pour prendre soin de toi, ils ont filé à l’anglaise car tu n’avais plus besoin d’eux, je suis sûre que tu les retrouveras bientôt avec ton Fast Boat lorsque tu repartiras de Melbourne et j’espère de tout mon cœur que tu pourras terminer ton tour du monde hors course, comme beaucoup l’ont fait lors des Vendée Globe précédents, quel bonheur ce sera pour tous tes fans de te voir passer le Cap Horn et arriver aux Sables d’Olonne❤
Congratulations on safe landfall Pip.🎉 Please don't forget us all in RUclips world and keep filming to show us you stay in Melbourne as well as how you and Medallia return to Poole. You really started something with the slow boat series.
Bravo Australia for giving Pip the hero’s welcome she deserves! Pip, enjoy the hospitality and the camaraderie among sailors - and come back stronger from the experience! You have seen that you can be a winner even when you have to quit the race.
OMG: I remember the times I got fresh veggies and fruit after a long crossing. Best thing in the world. Very happy you made it safely. You are so inspiring.
Welcome back to the shore Pip - you‘ve done an incredible job and we are all happy that you have now landed safely! Enjoy Melbourne and have a good time in down under. Looking forward to see you back at sea soon!
You are sooooooo darling, Pip. Your delight over the berries and fruit charmed out hearts. Giddy like a child on Christmas. Congrats on your amazing journey.
Just to repeat all the accolades. Brava. Phenomenal effort and remarkable example for all who have followed your epic recovery. If those doesn’t get you a bunch more sponsorships then there’s no justice in the world
So pleased you made it safely to Melbourne. Not sure what to do with myself now there’s no more slow boat. You made the last few weeks worth logging on for. You smile is infectious and your demeanor sunny and positive. Good luck in preparing for the next adventure in your life.
Seeing you standing in the sun, chucking a handful of blueberries was just priceless. Very glad you made it to Melbourne, now onto the next chapter. Onwards!
Thank you Pip. You have been a great example for all. Your smiles every day have given so much strength to our days. Your strength is an example for us. I wish you much joy in your life.
Pip - with tears in my eyes: thank you so much for showing us, what is possible in impossible moments. What you showed us here is mind changing to me- and I am thankful, that you’re now in Melbourne Harbour - safely. The moment of dismasting was the next step to climb a much higher mountain, you‘ve ever expected. And you will climb it. Today first step is done. Congratulations!!
Hello Pip, I started sailing myself in 1961. I have watched all your episodes and reports with great interest. and reports. I am very pleased that you have reached your destination with the emergency sailing safe and sound. Thank you very much for your wonderful reports from See.

You are a heroine and a great role model with your perseverance and your cheerfulness. Thank you for allowing us to experience your adventures through your reports.
