My DIY paradise and Girl Friday
Friday:星期五是《鲁滨逊漂流记》中的人物,鲁滨逊用救起他的日期命以的名字。
YOU don’t have to be as wealthy as Sir Richard Branson to own a private island... artist Richart Sowa simply built one out of plastic bottles.
The 61-year-old DIY Robinson Crusoe spent seven years constructing his floating paradise in the Gulf of Mexico. And now he has his own Girl Friday too.
He met model Jodi Bowlin on Facebook and persuaded her to leave her home in Tennessee to come and live with him.
Originally from Middlesbrough, Mr Sowa, who has been married twice and has four children and six grandchildren, explained: “I’ve always wanted to share my life’s work with a soulmate.”
Jodi, 47, said: “My first impression of the island was that it was an upgrade from camping.
“It looks like a carefree lifestyle but there was a lot of physical labour involved at first. It didn’t feel very stable and I was worried the house was going to sink.
“I’ve been able to motivate Richart to fix the place up. The toilet works perfectly now and solar panels provide electricity. He is a great carpenter so we were able to work together to ensure the structure is sound.
“I think most people would think living on a floating island is pretty strange but I guess I have more of a liberal view on life.
“The island itself gently rocks on the water, so sleeping there is like being held in your lover’s arms.”
Joyxee Island, near Cancun, Mexico, is the third built by Mr Sowa. Two were destroyed by hurricanes.
It is 30 yards from the shore, with a base made from 150,000 plastic bottles, pallets and sand. The
three-storey house has a water supply and even an internet connection.
Mr Sowa said: “I am vegetarian and my plan is to become self-sufficient. I have many plants growing on the island but for more variety I go by ferry, which I also made out of plastic bottles, to the shops.”

理查特与女友住在身后那座漂浮岛上。
62 岁的英国男子理查特·索瓦(Richart Sowa)花了7年时间,用15万个矿泉水瓶在墨西哥一个海湾里搭建了一座浮岛,还在岛上建了3层小楼,过上了梦想中的生活。别人的60岁在跳广场舞,而这位大爷整天沐浴在阳光海水中,练就了一身健硕的肌肉,甚至因岛结缘,觅得日本前超模为女友。如今,他们两人一起在岛上过着“神仙眷侣”的生活,堪称人生赢家。
