概要
She Survived 11 Days: A Mirror, No Flares, 61 Miles Wrong

The chill of isolation: a 28-year-old naval electrician survived eleven days at sea with a broken EPIRB, a sealed flare kit, and a military surplus mirror that still worked despite salt-crusted glass. Sixty-one nautical miles separated her from the search teams - how did she stay alive long enough to be found, and why did the gear everyone trusted fail when it mattered most?

In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events from departure to rescue, learn what Jean Larsen carried and why routine checks didn't prevent catastrophe, and follow how a single cracked housing and a tiny mirror became central to her survival. How did methodical preparation confront unforeseeable failure on the open Gulf?

Person: Jean Larsen
Age: 28
Boat: 31-foot sloop named Halcott
Departure date: Tuesday, February 3
Distance from search teams: 61 nautical miles

- The mast fell and crushed the EPIRB housing, which cracked after the impact.
- The EPIRB had fired one position ping at 07:14 the morning it failed before a short circuit silenced it.
- The handheld VHF’s effective range without the fixed antenna was three to four miles.
- Winds reached 28 knots and swells between 1.8 and 2.4 meters on February 5.
- Jean carried a military surplus mirror bought two weeks before departure and kept it in her jacket breast pocket.
