Cover art for The Deception lyrics by Iliketrains

This is about Donald Crowhurst. He entered the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, a single handed round the world yacht race. He got into trouble early in the race when his boat began to fall apart. He was determined to set the fastest time so he abandoned the race and falsely reported his position without actually travelling around the world. He disappeared before the end of the race and his boat was found abandoned. Evidence suggests that he went insane and committed suicide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Crowhurst
