133 Days At Sea Inspiring A Masterpiece
Lim Poon, d. 1991, age 72. Part of the inspiration for the book referred to in yesterday's post, The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. Mr. Poon was seen several times as he floated on his raft and it is believed that he was not picked up because it was thought he was a decoy for a waiting U-boat. The other inspiration, plot wise, was the Count Of Monte Cristo. I very much recommend all three of these stories.
I spent the day on the Gulf of Mexico and I would not wish to be in this situation for three hours let alone 4 months.
