Pat Henry

Who is Pat Henry?

Pat Henry is an American artist and author born in 1941 in Chicago. She is known being one of the first women to sail around the world single-handedly, during her 1989-1997 journey which took her, westward, from Acapulco and back by way of Suez and Panama canals, visiting some forty countries along the way and developing her watercolor art in the process. Shortly after returning from this odyssey, Henry made her home in Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, where she opened an art studio and also started various projects such as sailing charter, organic stretching clinics (pain management therapy) and more recently the 'Coming About Women's Sailing School' which aims at helping women gain confidence in themselves and find their identity through the challenges of sailing.
