Jan. 01, 1968 - Alec Rose leaves Australia on the second half of his voyage around the World in Lively Lady': 60-year old Alec Rose, a Portsmouth greengrocer, and the lone yachtsman who sailed his 32-feet ketch Lively Lady from Portsmouth to Melbourne, Australia, last December, set out today on his return voyage back to Portsmouth, England. It will be the same journey, by way of Cape Horn, that Sir Francis Chichester completed last year. The voyage is expected to take about 5 months. Photo shows Alec Rose presents an autographed picture of his ketch Lively Lady to John Haywood, Commodore of the Victorian Yacht Club, who played host to Rose during his stay, before the lone yachtsman started off on his return voyage today
