The Laminated Card That Pulled Her Back From the Sea

A dry index card found eighteen feet from the waterline on Pelago Island led rescuers toward a woman who had spent seven days and nine hours adrift after her thirty-eight-foot sloop sank; how did a bone-dry laminated card survive two inches of rain and an eleven-mile gap from the nearest launch to carry a single line that would reconnect two worlds? Who was the woman it belonged to, and why did that card become the only link between her and the search still one step behind?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from a Wednesday night call that ended and a departure from Leland to a mast failure at 3:17 a.m., a failed EPIRB, and a methodical survival that left one laminated card as the last tangible trace; will that card be what brings her home?
Person: Teresa Gallagher
Event: Boat sinking and week-long survival
Location: Pelago Island (card found), departed from Leland
Vessel: Hollis Mae, 38-foot fiberglass sloop built in 1989
Time adrift: Seven days and nine hours
- The laminated index card was found face-up, ink bright, and bone dry eighteen feet from the waterline in wax myrtle roots.
- Teresa logged roughly 40,000 miles aboard her vessel since 2017 and had been a delivery captain for eleven years.
- The mast parted at 3:17 a.m., went over the port side in under four seconds, and caused the EPIRB to submerge and fail.
- Teresa abandoned the Hollis Mae at 8:52 a.m. on June 12 and took a ditch bag with seven liters of water, a few tools, and the laminated index card.
- Every Wednesday at 11:10 p.m. for eleven years Teresa called her sister Patrice; the last call occurred on the night she departed Leland on June 11.
