Celebrate - Following the Wake of Solo Woman World Circumnavigator, Pat Henry!



I met Pat Henry at a neighbor's home in the Puerto Vallarta area of Mexico where she now lives. Pat is a delight and was awarded e Joshua Slocum Golden Circle for her solo circumnavigation. Also, my husband and I had read her book, "By the GRACE of the SEA" about her Around-the-World sailing trip. We were enthralled and found it quite helpful for ideas about our own planned circumnavigation.

Pat made her first land fall in French Polynesia at Nuka Hiva, where we are now anchored having followed in her wake, and we have heard the nighttime drumbeats as if from the pages of Herman Melville's "Typee". As our World ARC Rally boat friends came into the bay we felt as Pat had, "reassured by the sight of familiar boats in foreign harbors".

Our hat is off to you, Pat, and we can't wait to compare notes when we come back to Puerto Vallarta.

Cathy
