  • The Eggs, the Boat, and the Silent Fall: Mystery on Chesapeake Bay

    The Eggs, the Boat, and the Silent Fall: Mystery on Chesapeake Bay
    2026/09/10
    The Eggs, the Boat, and the Silent Fall: Mystery on Chesapeake Bay

    A perfectly set table, a warm skillet with three scrambled eggs, and a running engine on an unmanned trawler - would any of those details point to accident, negligence, or something deliberate? The discovery of a blue coffee mug upright on the rail and a chartplotter turned off nearly seventeen hours earlier leaves one central question: why were eggs cooked for two when one passenger was fatally allergic?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events on the Delmarva Queen from the morning it was boarded to the moments before someone went into the water, laying out the known facts and the tensions they create. What do the timing of the chartplotter shutdown, the warm eggs, and the set table reveal about what happened that weekend?

    Boat: Delmarva Queen
    Date: April 14, 2019
    Person: Megan Weber
    Person: Tom Hadley
    Location: Chesapeake Bay (Honga River area)

    - At 7:40 AM on Sunday, April 14, 2019, Beverly Nelson photographed the Delmarva Queen drifting with its engine running and no one aboard.
    - Investigators boarded the boat at 8:17 AM and found three scrambled eggs still warm in a cast-iron skillet.
    - The chartplotter had been switched off manually almost 17 hours before investigators boarded.
    - Tom Hadley, aged 64, was severely allergic to eggs and carried an EpiPen that he had kept on him for 30 years.
    - The Delmarva Queen is a 28-foot trawler registered to 61-year-old Megan Weber of Chestertown, Maryland.

  • Laminated Rabbit Chart, Two Drifters, One Mistaken Rescue Hope

    Laminated Rabbit Chart, Two Drifters, One Mistaken Rescue Hope
    2026/09/09
    Laminated Rabbit Chart, Two Drifters, One Mistaken Rescue Hope

    The sea returned a laminated rabbit feeding chart after six days in saltwater-only a single piece of paper survived, marked “Alice - call if found,” and the name on the back belonged to a person who, as of that morning, had not been found. What exactly did one laminated checklist, a missing EPIRB, and two small Tinker dinghies leave behind in a night of 43-knot winds and a rotated squall line?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the departure of the Wendeline through the night the squall struck, following the actions of Alice Norris and Frank Tobey and the early search response that followed-what decisions were made, what equipment failed, and how a single laminated note became the clue that connected shore to sea.

    Date: Tuesday, March 4, 2022
    Person: Alice Norris
    Person: Frank Tobey
    Location: Pamlico Sound, North Carolina
    Event: Squall line with 43-knot sustained winds and gusts to 58 knots

    - The laminated rabbit feeding chart was recovered from Wysock Shoal after six days in saltwater with a name and phone number written on the back.
    - Alice Norris, age 24, had laminated three copies of her rabbit Patches’ feeding schedule and left one with neighbor Ned Vance.
    - The Wendeline was a 31-foot sloop owned by 51-year-old Frank Tobey who logged weather windows and drilled emergency procedures.
    - At 11:00 PM on February 28 the squall produced 43-knot sustained winds with gusts to 58, causing the Wendeline to list and begin sinking.
    - The ship’s EPIRB remained in its bracket and did not transmit until 3:14 AM on March 1 when sinking pressure triggered it.

  • The Four-Inch Signal That Saved Her: 12 Days Drifting Pelican Shoal

    The Four-Inch Signal That Saved Her: 12 Days Drifting Pelican Shoal
    2026/09/08
    The Four-Inch Signal That Saved Her: 12 Days Drifting Pelican Shoal

    A tiny four-inch mirror, a Cessna at 4,500 feet and twelve days of drifting across the Florida Keys - the difference between rescue and the open Atlantic came down to a coin-sized flash that almost never happened. How did a methodical sailor with a sealed distress beacon and four flares end up rationing water, nursing two cracked ribs, and hiding her last signaling tool inside a coral head - and then be seen from the sky?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from departure to rescue, laying out the decisions, equipment failures, and narrow margins that defined Heather Sheridan’s twelve days at sea. What combination of small, preventable problems and stubborn resourcefulness brought her back?

    Date: February 16, 2019
    Person: Heather Sheridan
    Vessel: Ardea (34-foot cutter)
    Location: Islamorada to Dry Tortugas area, Florida Keys
    Injury: two cracked ribs

    - Departure logged on float plan: February 2; actual departure: February 4.
    - Signal mirror size: 4 inches square, military surplus, with a central sighting hole.
    - Altitude of observing aircraft: 4,500 feet; observer: Cessna transect on February 16.
    - EPIRB battery: four years old and noted for replacement in maintenance log.
    - Flares: four carried in a sealed bag; two failed to ignite on February 6 due to moisture intrusion.
