Dry Notebook, Drifting Sloop: How Twelve Days Left Them Four Miles Too Far

A dry composition notebook floated four miles off Gull Flat Shoal with a rubber band still intact, its pages unread by salt despite eleven days at sea - and what was written inside helped explain how three people aboard a forty-two-foot sloop ended up one hundred and thirty miles outside the search box. How did a waterlogged passage, a failed watermaker, and nineteen hours of a drifting, dismasted boat combine to put them just out of reach?
In this episode, we trace the sequence of small decisions, mechanical failures, and weather that unfolded from departure to discovery, and follow how a dry notebook and a triggered EPIRB set rescue efforts in motion. What do the notebook’s pages and the boat’s logged position reveal about where things went wrong?

Date: October 9-23, 2019
Event: Watermaker failure, dismasting, 11-day drift
- The boat was a forty-two-foot sloop named Calico Wind with three people aboard.
- The watermaker stopped at 23:47 on October 9, less than nine hours after leaving Pensacola Pass.
- The crew rationed forty-six liters of water into one liter per person per day.
- On October 12 the boat ran under bare poles in eight-foot seas and forty-one-knot winds and broached, causing the mast to fail.
- The EPIRB broadcast a logged position approximately 210 miles southwest of Dry Notebook.
