The Notebook, the Misplaced Coordinates, and the Woman Who Swam Home

Cold water, a waterproof notebook, and an eleven-digit coordinate that pointed rescuers to the wrong ocean - a notebook sealed with a brass mosquito clip survived four days on a basalt shelf with the last entry describing a decision to swim alone into 54°F Pacific water. Who wrote the precise coordinates that sent the search away from where a woman later walked ashore barefoot after swimming four miles?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events recorded by the notebook and the on-board logs, following three people who left Astoria on September 4 aboard the 42-foot sailboat Ardent Claire and the storm that followed - how one link in a careful chain failed, and what the notebook reveals about that failure.
Person: Sandra Stroud
Person: Roy Peck
Person: Tim Caffrey
Boat: Ardent Claire (42-foot sailboat)
Date: September 4-19
- The notebook’s last entry was dated four days before Carl Whitley found it on September 19.
- The water temperature the entry described was fifty-four degrees Fahrenheit.
- Three people left Astoria on September 4; one was dead seven days later, a second hospitalized eight days later, and a third walked ashore after swimming four miles.
- The SSB radio’s antenna connection worked about 40% of the time before the storm and failed during the knockdown.
- The storm on September 7 produced 40-knot winds and 12-foot waves, and the boat broached at 4:17 a.m, on September 8.
