概要
The Dry Mug: How a Raft, a Rogue Wave, and One Woman Survived

A dry ceramic mug with a painted bluebird was found upright in a life raft three days after Gulf gales, its coffee ring undisturbed - and the woman who owned the boat was missing at sea. How can a mug stay dry inside a raft that crossed the Gulf in January, and what did that small clue reveal about survival, loss, and what happened on board Carver's Run?

In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events from the morning a walker found the raft to the logged preparations and the moment the yacht went sideways, and follow the single surviving crew member as she fights to keep the damaged sloop afloat. Did April Young manage to survive the night while Tommy Greer disappeared, and what does the dry mug tell us about the final hours?

Person: April Young
Person: Tommy Greer
Vessel: Carver's Run
Date: departed January 9; raft found January 19
Location: roughly 140 miles west-southwest of the Dry Tortugas

- A life raft was found on a tidal flat on January 19 at 6:52 a.m. with a white ceramic mug upright and a dry coffee ring at the bottom.
- Carver's Run is a 42-foot sloop registered out of Portsmith Landing with a float plan listing return on January 22.
- April Young departed Portsmith Landing on January 9 at age 54 and had lived aboard for 11 years after refitting the boat over 14 months.
- During the incident on January 12 at about 4 p.m., the mast fell over, the hatch was gone, four inches of water covered the cabin sole, and the helm navigation station was swept clean.
- April powered a handheld GPS that ran for exactly 11 seconds before shutting down, and she cut the mast free with bolt cutters and sailed under a storm jib while bailing by hand.
