I never thought it would be easy… but still I’m sailing on despite being sad and challenged and getting distracted at times. But my eye is on my goal of finishing my circumnavigation.
Challenges & Distractions will not STOP MY CIRCUMNAVIGATION!!
Fun with the Profurl Roller Furling!
For those of you tired of the sailing relationship drama videos, here is sailing life at its best…fixing your boat in foreign ports…

Patrick Childress – His Last Photographs of SV Brick House
Days before Patrick’s hospitalization for Covid 19, he had been disassembling the boat to supply many many photos of our Sailboat ..a Valiant 40: Brick House, for an article that was being written for Practical Sailor Magazine, about one of the greatest boats ever made for cruising, the Valiant 40. Its a good read and shows my home of nearly 20 years. The link to the article is below.
Maybe just maybe I should sell her, and look for other sailboats to join in all of the beautiful places in the world I have yet to see and sail. No big ocean crossings just the joy of a new destination…hmmmmm…
No decisions the first year they say…and it would be extremely tough for me to sell her. I am turning up short on captain companions ready to continue on with me, and I have no desire to sail on my myself, with groups of woman, or with mere delivery captains. I’m already home. First choice would be to find a very experienced companion to continue this life with, but it’s proving difficult to find and I don’t want to waste my life trying to maintain this boat til the right guy comes along. This boat is meant to sail…and to keep moving. I am too. And I can’t sail off with someone only to sail off…it has to be the right person who is a phenomenal sailor.
If anyone has huge interest in buying my precious home, let me know. I may be talked in to it, with time. Or if you have tons of experience crossing oceans and think we may get along…then give me a shout…rebecca.childress at yahoo.
