	Strange Voyage of Donald Crowhurst
		Although his previous sailing experience was limited and his boat unready, Crowhurst had managed to persuade an affluent backer, the contest judges and England ’s media to regard him as a serious contender.
		In The Strange Voyage of Donald Crowhurst, Blue Raincoat Theatre Company explores the dual presentation of reality from the imagined viewpoints of Crowhurst and his wife, Clare, anxiously waiting at home and caring for their four children, marking his imaginary progress on a world map through the months of radio silence.

		But Crowhurst was not to sail in these dangerous latitudes and his boat was found abandoned in mid-Atlantic.

	…My heart’s in Accra » Jet lag and Donald Crowhurst
		Crowhurst was a British businessman and amateur sailor who competed in a round-the-world solo yacht race, hoping to use his participation to drum up sales for his invention, “the Navicator”, which communicated with marine and aviation beacons.
		Unfortunately for him, the race leader wrecked his boat, leaving Crowhurst with an impossible dillema - if he were to sail back to England, he’d be the “winner” of the race, and his logbooks would be carefully examined, displaying his fraud.
		I’ve had the definitive story of Crowhurst’s odd trip, “The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst“, by my bedside for the past year or so - this coincidence may finally inspire me to read it.

		From in-depth interviews with Crowhurst's family and friends and telling excerpts from his logbooks, Tomalin and Hall develop a tale of tragic self-delusion and public deception, a haunting portrait of a complex, deeply troubled man and his journey into the heart of darkness.
		The subject, Donald Crowhurst, finds himself at sea in more ways than one, and the reader is rivetted as the plot thickens and various developments take him further into danger.
		Crowhurst's story is really about making hard choices, or more particularly, about making a terrible choice at a critical moment, when everything seems to hang in the balance and when "every way you look at it, you lose".

		By June 1969, when Crowhurst’s fictional journey collided with his real position in the Atlantic, and he could once again radio through Portishead, he learnt he was officially winning the race.
		As with (almost) all of her films, here there are no pans, zooms, or dissolves, and the static shots linger on a scene, imbued with a slowness that allows the rich visual qualities to saturate the viewer’s consciousness.
		I finished my talk with a quotation from Simon Crowhurst, Donald’s son, who now works as a geologist and wrote a short piece for Dean’s 2001 Tate show (from which this extract is taken).
