Two Feet from Rescue: 11 Days Adrift After a Ship's Tiny Failures

At two nineteen on November 6, 2017, a sixty-two-foot motorsailer slipped beneath the Gulf and three people spent eleven days adrift with a fourteen-dollar watch still ticking and flares locked fourteen feet away. Precision failures - a two-inch unrepaired weld, VHF batteries twenty-two months old, and two feet of missing mooring line - turned small oversights into a life-or-death drift; how did three professionals survive so long and still go unseen?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from departure to rescue, describe the equipment and maintenance gaps aboard the Cora Bess, and follow Sharon Novak’s daily log that kept them oriented; what choices and oversights stretched those crucial two feet into an eleven-day ordeal?
Person: Sharon Novak
Person: Owen Prieto
Person: James Tully
Date: November 6, 2017
Vessel: Cora Bess
- The Cora Bess sank at 2:19 AM, leaving three people in the water with roughly four minutes to abandon ship.
- The flare cabinet was stored fourteen feet from the lifeboat and not in the position required by the vessel's safety plan.
- VHF radio batteries had gone twenty-two months without replacement, three months past the maintenance window.
- A corrosion-flagged two-inch weld on the starboard engine mount was documented eighteen months earlier and never repaired.
- Sharon rationed half a liter of water per person per day and kept a waterproof log every morning for eleven days.
