She Spoke to Sharks: 22 Days Adrift, a Voice Recorder Survived

A 53-year-old sailor spent 22 days alone in a life raft after her 31-foot cutter sank; a digital voice recorder captured her voice every hour and recorded her speaking to sharks. How did an EPIRB error send rescuers to the wrong ocean while she drifted 87 nautical miles from the reported coordinates?

In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events from departure to rescue, what Cheryl Barnes carried and lost, and the daily recordings she made - including her naming of two sharks as Index and Reference - as she tracked her true position and survival choices. What did the voice recorder reveal about those 22 days adrift?
