Sailing Brick House & NOW the RV Life! 

Circumnavigator Patrick Childress presented DIY Projects, Tips,  and Tricks for Repairing and Upgrading your Cruising Sailboat before passing away from covid-19 in June 2020, after 13 years of a circumnavigation with his wife Rebecca Childress. Afterwards,  widow Rebecca Childress, the owner of of the 1976 Valiant 40, called Brick House finished her circumnavigation in May 2023. Michael Hayward, a licensed captain & best friend from South Africa,  helped her continue the circumnavigation to the Caribbean, where he bought his own sailboat Amiga Mia. 
Rebecca struggled with Plan B - life after Patrick, life sailing as a widow, assuming much risk and responsibility for her sailboat and home. 
She finally finished her circumnavigation in May 2023. 
She then decided to give the RV Life a try and purchased a 29 foot Class C Motorhome. 
Now she will focus on the transition to RVing, the differences and similarities between the sailing lifestyle and the RV lifestyle and her next adventures.
