A single bright orange survival suit stood upright between rocks at 7:15 a.m., fully inflated and empty - a commercial-grade neoprene suit found by a witness who called the sheriff at 7:41; yet someone had been burning signal flares in ten-second intervals through a Pacific storm while a fishing vessel slowly filled and drifted north. How did four seconds of audio and one striking visual redirect a multi-day search that otherwise followed every drift model?
In this episode, we tell the story of the Nellie Rae, her four-person crew, and the four days on the Oregon coast when a rescue coordinator had to choose between his models and a recovered voice; will following a brief radio transmission lead to the truth the data missed?
Person: Denise Hughes
Event: Survival suit sighting
Date: Tuesday, July 11 (witness called at 7:41 a.m.)
Vessel: Nellie Rae, 58-foot crabber
Transmission: Channel 16, four seconds, words "Pelican Bar" at 9:22 p.m. (night before)
- At 7:15 a.m. Denise Hughes saw a fully inflated orange commercial survival suit standing between rocks and called the sheriff at 7:41 a.m.
- The Nellie Rae departed Ardmore at 4:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 9, bound ~40 miles offshore with an estimated return Monday the 11th before dark.
- A wave knocked Luis Bernal overboard around 8:30 p.m. Sunday; the EPIRB activated at 9:17 p.m.
- At 9:22 p.m. the vessel sent a four-second transmission on channel 16 with the two words "Pelican Bar," then silence.
- Harbormaster Carl Jeffries found and reviewed the overnight recording Monday morning and brought it to rescue coordinator Alan Powell at 8:47 a.m.
