I've just watched the DVD of Deep Water - the story of Donald Crowhurst's
sad trip & death. It is done as a documentary, and covers the subject
well,
though with an inevitable melancholy about it.
I had not realised that Robin Knox-Johnston donated his £5,000 prize money
( a lot of money in 1969, equivalent to about £100,000 today !) to the
Crowurst family. What a wonderfully generous (and costly!) gesture.

I haven't seen it Duncan so if you want to sell it......
