Two Words, One Raft: The Signal That Stopped the Sea
-
Letto da:

Di:
An orange life raft was spotted at 9:44 AM in the Gulf of Mexico after four days and seventeen hours with no voice from the Delia Rose - and a single two-word transmission, "We're rolling," came through a marine radio at 11:47 on March fourth before static swallowed it. How did a faint EPIRB pulse, a nineteen-mile gear drift, and those two words combine to put four people into nine-foot seas - and why did searchers fly past the raft for days?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of decisions, equipment quirks, and navigation shifts that framed the Delia Rose disappearance and the search that found an orange raft and a figure signaling with a mirror. What do the radio log, the float plan, and a stapled note saying "We're rolling" tell us about what happened and what was missed?
Person: Erin Dalton
Age: 44
Vessel: Delia Rose (48-foot steel-hulled shrimper)
Event: Radio transmission "We're rolling" logged at 11:47 on March 4
Distance: Gear had moved vessel 19 miles east-northeast of filed float plan
- A search aircraft spotted an orange six-person life raft at 9:44 AM on a Tuesday.
- The last recorded voice was two words, "We're rolling," logged at 11:47 on March 4 before static.
- The Delia Rose cleared Sabine Pass at 6:18 AM on March 2 and by March 3 had drifted 19 miles E-NE of its filed position.
- An EPIRB activated four minutes after the radio call, giving coordinates 6.3 miles E-NE of the float plan position, but the signal was weak and brief.
- Seas had built to nine feet with a confused cross-swell when Dennis Hoag reported intermittent bilge pump issues and a slow seam leak on March 3.
