Norwester - John Wayne's first yacht
Most people in the Northwest will say "don't you mean the Wild Goose?"
The Norwester was actually the yacht John Wayne owned during the 
1950's, before the Wild Goose. She was always moored at his Newport
Beach home and played host to many of his entertainment industry friends.
