Real-life Cast-Away

I was reading a pdf format of Leendert Hasenbosch diary first edition, thanks to my super freaking long hours of surfing on the net. Curiosity just struck me when I was reading an article about the real-life of castaways.

It was damn interesting as in how these people survived without any GPS or any some forms of technology aid. And what do they drink, eat, build their shelter, hunting for fishes, I really want to know other than watching Tom Hank movie (The CastAway). I also played Cast-away sim  game but of course that one is quite unrealistic...  Sad la...

Among the ten list, Leendert Hasenbosch and Alexander Selkirk are the interesting one in my opinion. It was so damn sad to hear their story :'(  Maybe i'm more interested in knowing tales at 1600s-1700s year. Rather than at the 1800s till 1900s year.

I haven't finished reading yet, but made some short research on Ascension Island. Now it inhabited by people. So... no more cast-away yay! I'm really glad that this island is actually inhabitable. And when I have enough money I will go Ascension Island to hear tales, to see this history with my own eyes. Not only that I want to go to Maldives as well!
