概要
The Notebook That Survived Eight Days in Freezing Pacific Water

Cold, relentless ocean currents and a ballpoint pen that refused to run: a notebook washed ashore in Hayden Cove after eight days in 50-54°F North Pacific water, its pages dry and readable despite swells over 12 feet. How did a composition notebook survive open ocean immersion intact, and what does its content reveal about the eight days a sailor spent adrift?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events recorded in that notebook and the circumstances around Crystal Rice's eight days at sea, following her preparations, the knockdown eighteen miles off Cape Perpetua, and the small decisions that kept both her and her notebook alive. What did Crystal write that explains where the notebook had been, and what later detail explained why it remained readable?
