Rosemarie and Alfred Alecio launch From Gibraltar Around the World — 23 Years a Salt-Water Marriage, with a presentation at John Mackintosh Hall Library.
The book tells the story of the husband-and-wife team’s 23 years sailing the world’s oceans aboard Ironhorse, their 12-metre gaff cutter: weathering storms, discovering remote shores and enjoying life at sea, before an untimely, dramatic rescue brings their journey to an end. It recounts extraordinary encounters, emotional highs and lows, courage and endurance.
Rosemarie, who has experienced increasing hearing loss since the age of 12 and benefited from support, also hopes to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by people with hearing loss. Books can be purchased directly from GHITA; the organiser also plans availability through local bookshops.
