Old Yew tree - Crowhurst Church - Surrey - England - Photo by Peter G trimming
The door was in place before 1850, this ancient yew tree is thought to be up to 4000 years old. Despite the trunk being hollow, the tree appears in good health.

I have learned, God, that what I want comes at too high a cost. I have learned the fallacy of my wants. I am visionless and have been insisting my ideas should lead the path.
I relent!
You have won our game. You have punished this filthy loser.
Will you now not show us the grace and mercy we align with your name?

Throughout [Donald's diaries] there are suggestions that Donald was a god, or could be a god, and he discusses integrating his mind with the gods or the cosmos:
Mathematics is the language of god, however possesses more poetry than abstract validity.
Restated as: Perhaps mathematics is the only certain ground today man occupies in the kingdom of god.

Watched the 2006 documentary Deep Water and made us appreciate Donal Crowhurst much more. Before I thought of him as the guy who cheated, went mad and commited suicide. It was good to hear the whole story and get to appreceate him as the sailing icon he truely is. Great post by sailingcalypso.com

Disappearance at Sea II - Tacita Dean
Disappearance at Sea II is the title of a short film made after Disappearance at Sea (1996). Both works take as their point of departure the story of Donald Crowhurst, an amateur yachtsman from England who joined the solo, round-the-world Sunday Times Golden Globe Race in 1968. The inexperienced (and, some might say, deceptive) Crowhurst quickly ran into difficulties, and eventually his craft, Teignmouth Electron, was found several hundred miles from the coast of Britain, abandoned. Filmed in anamorphic format at St. Abb’s Head on the east coast of Scotland, Disappearance at Sea uses the light and lenses of a lighthouse and its surrounding landscape to suggestive narrative ends.
The title Disappearance at Sea II—and especially the subtitle, Voyage de Guérison, which Dean added in her accompanying text—refer to the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde’s misguided, love-potion-induced affair. Tristan, unlike Crowhurst, embraced the ocean’s power: after being mortally wounded, he allowed himself to drift in a voyage de guérison, or journey of healing, to a magical island where he hoped to be cured once again by the powers of Isolde and her mother, the queen.

Waiting for the day Werner Herzog announces his new project: the Mosquito Coast, based on the Paul Theroux novel
Think about it. It has every motif.
- The FUCKING JUNGLE AGAIN, of course, Honduras this time.
- Native people who have no need for western influence, but here it is, anyway.
- Religious figures who are ultimately of no bearing to anything.
- Our focus is a misguided man with unattainable dreams.
But he is SO focused on those dreams and his will is so strong that nothing, not even common sense or imminent danger, can stop him.
- Hell, he even makes ice.
There is no need for ice in the jungle.
- He does useless things in the belief that they are not useless. But they are, and they are his downfall.
- Everything is witnessed by a quiet bystander + the audience.
- Heavy rainfall. Scorching heat. No modern civilisation within a radius of 1.000 KM.
- Truth: man is no match against the forces of nature.
I can see a giddy, happy Werner absolutely dancing his way through the production. He should do it.
#The Mosquito Coast#Werner Herzog#DO IT! YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN DO IT JUSTICE#he should also make a Donald Crowhurst film but that is my own personal piece of heaven
