Wayfarer 48 "Wanderer"
	List of impressive W-cruise-trips in W48"Wanderer". Mostly Nordic/Scandinavian ones.

1. His first long distance open sea passage over the North Sea was from Lowestoft via Helgoland, Esbjerg to Kristiansand, Norway in 1960 - force 8, about 16m/sec by Helgoland.
2. Destination Trondhjem in 1961, stopped by weather at Cape Stadlandet(a very dangerous weather corner of S.Norway that W48 "Wanderer" passed 3 times!!), ended in Ålesund.
3. Next year's try for Trondhjem, broke mast barely two days out, returned to re-rig the mast and drill a new pivot-hole. Hove to by Utsira gave more delay(FD pointed down on Utsira-island from SAS-cockpit en route London-Bergen in 1973). Cruise ended Ålesund.
4. 1963 open N.Atlantic 650 n.m. from Scotland to Iceland: "After 10 days a vacation-trip becomes hard work!"
5. 1964 the famous "Summercruise" again Ålesund and received this time by: "You are Madmen!" and FD's remark 'I am inclined to believe so'.
6. 1965 to the small island of St.Kilda far out in the Atlantic Ocean
7. 1966 Orkney - Shetlands cruise
8. 1968 Esbjerg via perilous Westcoast of DEN(good enough reason for building the Kiel Canal), Limfjord, Kattegat Sea to the Sound and the(SWE)island of Ven to start the Scandinavian WAYFARER Association and via Dragør to continue towards Bornhom. However no wind - stopped on the southcoast of Sweden running out of time.
9. 1970 Lofoten, Svolvær for North Cape. No wind at first with H-pressure, sunny and rowing; icy cold polar-weather after Tromsø. 
10. 1973 Along East Anglia and South Coast of England past Land's End with fear of *ground swell* from the Atlantic(Margaret demanded an outboard along in case of calm condition right there!).

And there are more: Qatar, Persian Gulf before the cruises of North America – from Florida to the Great Lakes via St.Lawrence River. It's just too fantastic to know such a marvellous W-driver, a true peaceful, never to be surpassed WAYFARER-Viking!
