The idea of a lone beacon sending signals for four days while its owner drifted alone in the Atlantic is terrifyingly intimate: two fried eggs left on a skillet, an autopilot-engaged sloop idling at eight knots, and a personal locator beacon transmitting into a system that wasn't listening - how did a 61-year-old woman survive when rescue was almost missed? What chain of failures and precise near-misses allowed Emily Duncan to float for days before being found?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from departure to rescue, following the boat, the beacon transmissions, and the decisions that led Emily to sail east instead of the filed route - and we ask how a safety system built to find her almost failed when it mattered most.
Person: Emily Duncan
Date: April 12, 2019
Vessel: Patrice C., 42-foot sloop
Fuel: 220 gallons filled April 10
Injury: fractured right forearm (radius and ulna)
- The boat was idling with autopilot engaged and engine running at eight knots when officers boarded.
- Two fried eggs were found on a cast-iron skillet, their yolks not yet set, after more than 24 hours.
- Emily activated her personal locator beacon underwater to the wrist after falling overboard in 58°F water.
- The squall produced 38-knot northwest winds that caused Emily to be clipped to her safety line and fall overboard.
- Marcus Teel filled both tanks with 220 gallons on April 10 and saw navigation lights leave the harbor before dawn on April 11.
