Alone Against the Current: How Marcia Survived the Nora Jeanwreck

Cold, uncharted danger lurked where charts said nothing - a near-surface rock and an invisible current turned a routine December cargo run into a fight for survival. A forty-horsepower outboard was found standing upright in four inches of water with a painted orange chevron; what did one 22-year-old woman do alone, with a broken wrist and a half-empty thermos, that saved her life?
In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events from departure to rescue, the precise observations in Marcia Simpson’s waterproof log, and the physical evidence recovered by beachcombers and the Coast Guard that shaped the investigation. How did training, quick observation, and one unmarked current decide who lived?
Date: December 19, 2009
Person: Marcia Simpson
Person: Don Tessier
Person: Phil Horner
Location: southwest of Cape Bendel
- At 9:47 AM on December 19, 2009, Kent Andrews found a 40-horsepower outboard motor standing upright in four inches of water on a sandbar 11 miles from the nearest dock.
- The engine cowling bore an orange stenciled chevron and an intact serial number when recovered and placed in a Coast Guard evidence depot in Petersburg the same afternoon.
- Marcia Simpson last recorded departure aboard the Nora Jeanwreck at 7:30 AM on December 16 and logged environmental conditions and engine behavior throughout the morning.
- The Nora Jeanwreck struck an uncharted, near-surface rock at approximately 9:45 AM, producing a sudden stop and breaching the bow below the waterline.
- Phil Horner entered the water at 10:55 AM after the vessel was compromised and Marcia noted in her 9:50 AM entry: "Tessier cannot correct," referencing the vessel’s inability to steer against a southwest-setting current.
