    Left Adrift: How One Missing Handle Kept Her Alive Eight Days

    Left Adrift: How One Missing Handle Kept Her Alive Eight Days

    A missing metal handle the size of a palm turned a routine sail into a life-or-death drift: a life raft inflation pull found alone in a ziplock 41 miles from the nearest water, while the sloop that carried it vanished for two weeks - how did Marilyn Casey survive eight days with a broken boat, no radio, and a chartplotter as her only guide? What chain of small omissions led a careful sailor into a storm that should have ended differently?

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of events from departure to discovery, recounting the equipment left aboard, the sudden storm, and the searches that followed to ask how one forgotten step changed everything. Listen to learn how the chartplotter’s glow, a single torn palm, and a snowplow driver on a dark highway became pieces of the same story.

    Person: Marilyn Casey
    Vessel: Dellwood Star (thirty-two-foot sloop)
    Date found (jacket): December 14, 2015
    Distance from water: 41 miles
    Location at loss: 61 miles northeast of Cape Lookout

    - The denim jacket with the ziplock and metal handle was found on Route Nine before sunrise on December 14, 2015.
    - The handle removed three days before departure and left on the cockpit workbench was the inflation pull for the life raft.
    - The Dellwood Star departed Ocracoke for Beaufort on the morning of December 1, 2015 at 6:40 AM.
    - Wind climbed from 15 knots to an estimated 35 knots in under 40 minutes, with a buoy recording a gust near 50 knots.
    - The chartplotter remained functional and showed the boat moving south-southeast at roughly two knots while Marilyn was alone aboard.

  • The Shoe on the Transformer: A Lifeboat's Silent SOS at Sea

    The Shoe on the Transformer: A Lifeboat's Silent SOS at Sea
    2026/07/25
    The Shoe on the Transformer: A Lifeboat's Silent SOS at Sea

    A single white canvas sneaker, soaked in salt water, sat on a transformer casing two point one meters off the ground with twelve words taped to its ankle: "M.J. - port. 3 swim. 4 no." Forty miles offshore, six people in a lifeboat had just spent thirty-seven hours believing no one was looking for them - but every distress signal that night pointed eleven nautical miles away. How did a shoe become the only clue to a rescue searching the wrong ocean?

    In this episode, we follow the events before and after the collision on November 8, 2009, describing the crew, the lifeboat, the malfunctioning navigation signals, and the subsequent Coast Guard search that began at incorrect coordinates. What went wrong with the ship’s systems and the rescue response that left survivors drifting while an EPIRB transmitted false positions?

    Person: Angela Quinn
    Event: Collision between Felton Meridian and Carver Strait
    Date: November 8, 2009
    Location: Approximately forty miles offshore (actual) vs eleven nautical miles error (reported)
    Status: Seven crew launched lifeboat; two crew did not survive

    - A white canvas sneaker was found two point one meters off the ground on a transformer casing with a strip of first-aid adhesive and twelve handwritten words.
    - The Carver Strait was a coastal tanker two hundred and forty feet long with nine crew aboard.
    - The collision occurred at 21:22 and the Carver Strait sank at approximately 21:53, thirty-one minutes after impact.
    - The ship’s AIS transponder had been reporting a position eleven nautical miles northeast of the ship’s actual location.
    - The lifeboat with survivors spent thirty-seven hours believing no one was looking while the Coast Guard search operated at the wrong coordinates.

  • Notebook Survives Eleven Days at Sea: The Ardea Grey Ordeal

    Notebook Survives Eleven Days at Sea: The Ardea Grey Ordeal
    2026/07/24
    Notebook Survives Eleven Days at Sea: The Ardea Grey Ordeal

    Find the notebook washed between concrete blocks at Harwick Inlet and you hold eleven days of survival in legible ink: forty-three pages, a pharmacy-issue spiral cover, and a waterlogged path that began with a failed watermaker and ended with a missing EPIRB position. How did a carefully kept log record the exact moment routine became catastrophe, and what answers were left on those final pages?

    In this episode, we follow the chronology written in the recovered notebook and the official signals tied to the sloop Ardea Grey, tracing the decisions, failures, and small details that shaped eleven days at sea; what do those entries reveal about the people aboard and the moment help disappeared?

    Person: Frank Delaney
    Person: Marcus Webb
    Person: Person: Sarah Clark
    Date: October 2-14, 2019
    Vessel: Ardea Grey

    - The notebook recovered on October 14, 2019 had a sun-bleached laminated cover and contained forty-three pages of handwritten entries.
    - The Ardea Grey departed Westport on the morning of October 2, 2019 for an approximately four-hundred-mile passage to Queen Charlotte Sound.
    - The crew consisted of three: Frank Delaney (51), Marcus Webb (22), and Sarah Clark (28); Sarah had about fourteen thousand offshore miles and joined six weeks before departure.
    - A watermaker failed early in the voyage, leaving sixty gallons of tank water as the only fresh-water supply for the three people aboard.
    - At 02:11 on October 3, 2019 a shackle on the starboard shroud failed during an estimated fifty-two-knot gust, the mast came down, punched the deck, and the EPIRB activated at 02:14 but transmitted no coordinates.
