“The ocean is more a part of me than the land” - Pip Hare

This week on the Blue Earth Podcast, we hear from British yachtswoman, journalist and sailing instructor Pip Hare. Pip grew up in a landlocked county in the UK but after getting a taste of sailing as a teenager she decided she would make it her career, whatever it took. Pip says as a young woman in a male-dominated sport it was a constant battle for opportunities. She says despite being only the 8th woman in history to complete the Vendée Globe round-the-world yacht race, the biggest mountain she had to climb was getting to the start line.  In a raw moment of honesty, Pip also opens up to host Laura Nesbitt about her decision not to have a family, and shares what drives her to protect our precious oceans.  Follow Pip on Twitter Find out more at www.blueearthsummit.com Follow Blue Earth Summit on Twitter Follow Blue Earth Summit on Instagram Follow Laura on Instagram What is the Blue Earth Summit?
