The Notebook in the Church Lot: How the Gulf Betrayed Four Men

Saltwater, diesel, and a man’s handwriting washed ashore eleven days after two boats vanished in a race - but the notebook was found sixty miles from where that name should have been, and it smelled like the Gulf itself. Four men went missing after a squall; the Coast Guard searched four nautical miles away because a GPS datum was wrong - how could a single unchecked number turn a routine race into ten days adrift?
In this episode, you will hear the unfolding details of what happened from departure to discovery, the weather changes, the search decisions, and the notes left behind on a life raft - all pointing to one unanswered administrative error that redirected the search. Did an overlooked GPS setting doom the search before it began?
Date: March 19, 2014
Location: Palmetto Avenue, Sarasota
Event: Whitmore Cup race, March 7-8, 2014
People: John Meyer, Hank Serrano, Phil Garner, Trevor Garner
Error: GPS datum set incorrectly, shifting positions four nautical miles southeast
- A waterlogged notebook was found leaning against a van tire in a church parking lot on Palmetto Avenue on March 19, 2014.
- The notebook’s inside cover was labeled John Meyer and showed handwriting still legible after eleven days at sea.
- Two boats went missing from the Whitmore Cup race on March 8, 2014; eleven boats had departed at 5:50 a.m, on March 7.
- By 1:15 p.m. on March 8 the National Weather Service had upgraded conditions to a small-craft warning with winds at the Venice Inlet buoy reading 38 knots, gusting to 44.
- The chase boat’s GPS unit was set to the wrong coordinate datum, causing every transmitted position to be four nautical miles southeast of the boats’ actual location.
