Patrick completed a solo-circumnavigation on Juggernaut Catalina 27 in his younger days. He has been published in numerous magazines, for both his writing and photography, as well as having co-authored a book entitled "The Cruising Guide to Narragansett Bay and the South Coast of Massachusetts". He holds his 500 Ton Masters Captains License, and is an active delivery captain and instructor. Patrick owned a home improvement business in Newport, RI but retired in June 2007 to cruise a second time around the world on Brick House. He is also, most importantly, Captain of Brick House, AND married to Rebecca! (July 4, 2007) Rebecca Childress (formerly Rebecca Taft) is an accomplished sailor as well. She has owned many boats ranging from a 17' MacGregor, a 27' and a 36' Catalina, and now the Valiant 40 that she purchased a few years before meeting Patrick. She has done numerous bluewater passages ranging from Newport to Bermuda, Bermuda to the Carribean, Florida to New Orleans, Florida to the Bahamas, Extensive Cruising in New England Waters, as well as Nova Scotia on her own boat as well as other people's boats to gain offshore experience so that one day she could circumnavigate. Rebecca holds her 50 Ton Masters Captains License with towing and sailing endorsements. She is also a General Licensed Ham Radio Operator. She met Patrick on her first NARC Rally from Newport to Bermuda. She had always dreamed of sailing around the world, and knew that a passage to Bermuda in November would teach her more about heavy weather sailing since it is usually rough that time of year. Several years later when Patrick and Rebecca got together, they set their sites on earning enough money to cruise around the world together! Three years later, they had saved their money and were ready to move aboard! Rebecca was a very successful Realtor in Newport, RI, and has an extensive list of Computer Certifications and experience as well. Together now, they make a great team to take their home around the world for several years! |
