Patrick, a Londoner, grew up through the blitz, was evacuated, bombed out, did 2 years mandatory army service in the English-occupied area of Germany, became a professional engineer, married a super girl, immigrated to Canada, Australia and finally settled in beautiful Vancouver. They learnt to sail in local waters, built a 42ft boat in their garden in under a remarkable 3 years and, with their 2 children, sailed 15,000 miles offshore to exotic islands in the south seas and glaciated waters in Alaska. They also sailed in Europe, Bahamas and other places. He often worked in over 30 countries in south American, southeast Asia and other places - he never knew where to next. He was always looking for the next challenge, the next environment and definitely took advantage of any possible trip, often with his wife.
