Drifted South: The Notebook That Kept Her Alive

A dry spiral notebook survived nine hours and six days in the Pacific, its pages uncurled and every entry intact - written by a 22-year-old who drifted south while rescue patterns ran north. How did a woman’s handwritten log survive open water and become the only record of whether she was still alive?

In this episode, you’ll hear the sequence of events from departure to the moment the life raft was launched, the entries Sarah made in the notebook, and the timeline that turned a routine delivery into a long drift at sea - could her notes alone solve where she was and what happened next?

Person: Sarah Mitchell
Date: August 4-14, 2019
Location: Pacific Ocean, drifted approximately 47 miles offshore
Event: Mast loss and transfer to life raft after dismasting on August 7
Person: Wade Williams (found the notebook at Pelican Flats)

- The notebook was found dry on the sand at Pelican Flats on the morning of August 14, 2019.
- The notebook had traveled approximately nine hours through open water to reach that beach.
- Sarah was 22 years old and had accepted a delivery job on August 4, 2019 to sail a 38-foot sloop called the Crestline.
- A low-pressure system dropped 11 millibars in six hours and pushed the Crestline 47 miles offshore by the afternoon of August 6.
- At 3:40 a.m. on August 7 the mast came down with a single percussion, and Sarah later sealed a forearm wound with duct tape from the grab bag.
