When as a young man I started with boats. The idea was to find a hull or boat that I could convert to suit my needs. To start with a white paper and draw a boat on it and proceed to build the boat, I did not have the courage or knowledge, but I read kept my eyes open and asked questions and finally I had the knowledge and courage.

1967 I converted Anna from an open rowboat to a decked cruiser and cruised Denmark and Western Sweden. In January Martine a french girl became my girlfriend. In April we and her friend Eleonore cruised in Anna. Martine came with me to Kiel in Germany but then in May she left me for the barricades in Paris. I continued to England in her. The video clips below are from the mouth of the river Elbe in Germany.
