A compulsion towards the unknown and a fascination with navigation led Donald Crowhurst, a struggling British inventor to enter the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race; a solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe by sailboat in 1968. His famous deception and suspiciously deliberate disappearance might be elaborated on in these following extracts from his notebooks found upon the Teighmouth Electron after abandoned.

Keeping a sort of watch on sails by night,
Alone,

The rigging sighs a sigh of cosmic sorrow

For weeping doves that die maybe tomorrow

on 12.7 X 10^5 irradiated olive trees.

A sigh to fill man's soul with melancholy.

Waves! Sweep away my melancholy!

My footstool's a 10lb case of rice
To the North-east 2.5 X 10^3 miles,

250 X 10^3 babies will slowly die, too weak to fuss
(carbohydrate deficiency, they tell us

on 15.402 mHz)
Herrod, would you not solve overpopulation thus?

Please, be informed, there is a Santa Claus!
