Hot Soup, Empty Helm: Daughter Adrift Nine Days After Dad Falls Overboard
-

Warm soup, a running engine, and an open hatch greeted the Coast Guard - but no one was aboard Callie Mae; one person was dead and another would spend nine days adrift in the Atlantic. The EPIRB was registered only to the boat and sent rescuers to the wrong area, while a loose VHF antenna and a drifting cabin cruiser turned a short weekend trip into a survival ordeal. How did a single outdated registration and a handful of failed systems determine who was found and who was not?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from departure on March 30 to the discovery of the abandoned boat on April 9, detailing the equipment failures, the actions taken by Debra, and the bureaucratic gap that redirected the search. What choices and chance events compounded to create a nine-day drift alone at sea?
Person: Frank Dupree
Person: Debra Vaughn
Date: March 30 to April 9, 2019
Location: Ossabaw Sound and adjacent Atlantic waters
Item: EPIRB registered to Frank's Dunmore Landing address and vessel only
