...assembled cool crowd, offering up his razors with a truly pathetic look on his face. And if you're an Army guy who can't fish, can't bond with others, and lets an old lady with plastic teeth outsmart you in the Tribal Council (although technically, Maralyn voted for "Cal," so maybe that doesn't count), you're better off back at the base saluting toilets with a toothbrush...

The publisher claims that the Baileys set a record-117 days*-for time adrift following a shipwreck. Though each lost about 40 pounds, suffered vitamin deficiencies...

"We talked without the encumbrances of modern living; we explored the hidden depths of each other's characters," Maralyn at one time confides. But that is as much as either Bailey will allow in a book that is essentially an expansion of water-logged diaries kept during the trip, plus photographs, maps and useful illustrations. Just this capacity for even-keeled privacy seems to have pulled them through. "In some weird and detached way," Maralyn concludes...
