Reviews
...one unforgettable voyage...under a captain whose words may echo in your mind and whose attitude may inform your spirit for the rest of your life.
— The Times (UK)
An impressive writer. Like Fitzgerald, Hayden is a romantic. His writing about the sea evokes echoes of Conrad and McFee, of London and Galsworthy...Beautifully done.
— Los Angeles Times
A superb piece of writing...Echoes from Poe and Melville to Steinbeck and Mailer. A work of fascination on every level.
— New York Post
Haydens wonderful autobiography Wanderer ...should be in every main salon aboard every boat. Haydens life cant be emulated, but it is instructive
