The Dry Card on a Soggy Boat: How Three Calls Were Missed at Sea

A single laminated card, bone-dry on the soaking deck of a boat that looked like it had been underwater for days - that impossibility led to a woman being found alive after nearly four days adrift. How could three people, all sending distress signals and searching for each other after a squall, remain invisible across the same stretch of water?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from a March squall to the discovery on a Buras dock and trace the decisions and small artifacts that shaped what happened. What did a laminated tracking card, a ripped radio transmission, and six bottles of water add up to in those crucial hours?

Date: March 22, 2017
Person: Kimberly Green
Location: Buras dock / lower Mississippi delta
Boat: Calvert Sound (14-foot fiberglass, 30-horsepower)
Event: Squall on March 18, 2017 (40-48 knots, 22 minutes)

- Kimberly Green was found unconscious in the bow on March 22, 2017 after being alone for almost four days.
- The laminated tracking card covered March 4-April 2 with the first 18 cells filled in blue ink and was kept inside a waterproof sleeve.
- The squall hit at 11:53 AM on March 18, 2017 with winds of 40-48 knots and lasted 22 minutes, ending visual contact between Calvert Sound and Lena B.
- Kimberly had six bottles of water and half a bag of popcorn and rationed them while circling within roughly two miles of her last visual contact.
- She heard a garbled, partial rescue-channel transmission the afternoon of March 18 and believed it indicated Scott and Marcus were being helped.
