Dry Tide Chart, Wrong Direction: How Four Vanished From Bent Cape
-
Letto da:

Di:
Fear tightens when a life raft turns up miles inland with a dry tide chart marked "200 ft, 270°" - a notation that could only have been written before a boat ran itself onto rocks. A two-word radio transmission sent search teams the wrong way across ninety square miles; why did a seasoned crew run hard toward shore in worsening seas, and what does a dry chart in an estuary reveal about those last hours?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from a July 7 departure across the Dellport bar to the discovery of a wrecked hull at Bent Cape and a flotation vest in Alder Slough, and we lay out the physical clues that reshape where and how the search should have been conducted. Which single entry in a waterproofed fuel log rewrote the search grid and pointed straight to a grounded vessel?
Person: Douglas Favre
Date: July 7 (departure) and July 14 (vest found)
Location: Bent Cape; Alder Slough; Dellport bar
Event: Two-word radio transmission; discovery of flotation vest and tide chart
Status: One dead, one missing, one clinging to life, one aboard wrecked hull
- The flotation vest recovered July 14 contained a tide chart showing a penciled depth of 200 feet and a bearing of 270°.
- Alder Slough's deepest point is barely 12 feet, yet the vest arrived there after traveling 11 miles from the Mira Jean's position.
- The Mira Jean crossed the Dellport bar at approximately 6:40 a.m. and was running southwest toward grounds 18 miles offshore.
- Phil Navarro's green-cover fuel log shows engines at near full throttle for 60 to 90 minutes between noon and the last radio transmission at 6:47 p.m.
- Search teams were focused on a 90-square-mile ocean grid centered on a noon position in 210-foot water while the vessel was actually grounded in 80-90 foot water near Bent Cape.
