Abby’s guest this episode is Miranda Merron who has been racing competitively offshore for the past 20 years in solo, double-handed and fully-crewed races, including the Route du Rhum, the Transat Jaques Vabre and the Volvo Ocean Race. Miranda has won the Transat Jacques Vabre and Round Britain & Ireland races. Most recently Miranda competed in the iconic Vendee Globe, completing the course in 101 days. In finishing this Vendée Globe, Miranda becomes only the 9th female ever to complete this legendary course and the 5th British woman in her trusty IMOCA60 Campagne de France. Abby chats to Miranda about her journey to get to the start line of the Vendee Globe and also about the highs and lows of the race itself.  A really interesting insight into the life of a solo sailor, racing around the world.

Host: Abby Ehler
