That was interesting. I didn't feel like what he did was all that heroic. The story didn't sound like much of a legend. I mean... it was scary and I was very impressed at his ability to push forward and survive. But I didn't get the impression he was bent on saving other more than himself. I mean, I don't blame him. That probably would be everyone's primary motivation. I was also impressed at how long he would swim after all the dehydration, freezing water, and exhaustion. But in the end it sounded like a bunch of desperate swimming and dumb luck. I have a hard time seeing that turn into "The Legend of PT-109". Am I alone in thinking this?

No, I agree it's kind of a jump from Heroic act to Legend. But the coconut was a cool movie like addition maybe if they called Legend of the Coconut Paper instead...
