The Sailor's Wife – a great read
Published Tue 02 May 2023
If you’re looking for an entertaining sailing read, check out Maureen Girdlestones The Sailor’s Wife. As he author explained: “It is the true story of the yacht Alter Ego stolen from Royal Cape Yacht Club during the aching Eighties, the amazing events that followed a frantic worldwide search and the near miracle find thanks to a Samaritan on the island of Grenada in the Antilles. Taking advantage of the situation, years of cruising ensued with adventures galore among the islands of Caribbean and Mediterranean. After years afloat, a return to Cape Town followed to initiate a yacht charter in the then fledgling V&A Waterfront, with, by then thousands of sea miles under her hull.”
