Dry Card, Drifting Woman: How She Navigated Nine Days Alone
-

The first thing found at a marina storage yard was a bone-dry laminated card with twelve handwritten lines and a final note: "Day nine." A rescue spent nine days searching the wrong ocean while that card-flown three hundred yards across marsh-held the only written trail of a woman’s solo navigation; how did she survive and steer herself home without compass, GPS, or charts?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events, witness reports, and the instruments and calculations that made an improbable return possible, and we ask what the card and the small tools she used reveal about her decisions and skills.
Person: Connie Casey
Date: January 7-19, 2011
Location: Gulf coast of Florida (departure Fort Myers Beach; 160 nautical miles west-southwest of Key West at incident)
Event: Nine-day solo navigation and search-and-rescue mismatch
Instrument: stainless steel winch base used as navigation aid
- The laminated index card had twelve handwritten lines with times and compass headings and a final entry marked "Day nine."
- The card landed dry three hundred yards across open marsh inside a fenced storage yard and sat there for three days.
- The rescue beacon directed searchers twenty-two nautical miles away from where the woman actually was.
- The Hazel M. was a forty-four-foot sloop; she and a 26-year-old crewman left Fort Myers Beach on January 7, 2011.
- On January 10, 2011, a sudden asymmetric swell (rogue wave) struck when the vessel was 160 nautical miles west-southwest of Key West.
