Title: Mystery still unsolved
Review: I read this book many years ago and just re-read it last year. It is a chillingly mysterious story of a man driven by circumstance into a plan of deception that ended in an empty sailboat found floating in the Atlantic. It is almost like a story of morals. Mr. Crowhurst sets out to circumnavigate the globe in a sailboat race. Finding himself not up to the task he decides to "fake" his voyage and does a remarkable job of it - until, apparently, the strain of it all drives him insane.I found it a fascinating book, well done, well documented, and as thrilling as any fiction novel. In fact, I suspect that because it really did happen makes it a more compelling story. I am a fan of all sailing adventure books and this one has all the elements of a global sailboat race, plus the mystery of Mr. Crowhurst's last days of life.
