Circumnavigator Patrick Childress presented DIY Projects, Tips, and Tricks for Repairing and Upgrading your Cruising Sailboat before passing away from covid-19 in 2020, after 13 years of circumnavigating together. Now Rebecca Childress, the owner of of the 1976 Valiant 40, called Brick House is continuing her circumnavigation with South African Michael Hayward. It is not a simple endeavor, and while she has a lot of technical knowledge of the systems aboard her Bluewater cruising boat, she doesn’t know it all, and struggles with Plan B - life after Patrick, life as a widow sailing, assuming much risk and responsibility for her sailboat and home.. While Rebecca is a captain in her own right, she shares this responsibility with Michael Hayward. . Who knows where the adventure will take her, but with lots of compassion, understanding, communication, and humor, she will continue the journey, and hopefully complete her 14+ year circumnavigation of the world and her sailing life!
