Proust Questionnaire for Boaters by Port of Egypt Marine

French author Marcel Proust popularized an interview-style parlor game in the early 20th century, believing that the answers given revealed a respondent's true self. Port of Egypt General Manager Will Lieblein has reimagined what became known as the Proust Questionnaire into a revelatory exercise for boaters.
