Part 2 Nook. If you buck, I didn't see you

(00:43):
there. It all started early this
morning. From hunting ghosts to Bigfoot
UFOs. Cryptids, true crime,
paranormal, and more. I.
Always wanted to see. A UFO?
Oh, I was. I was researching for your
entertainment. That's Bigfoot's get.
He basically wrote the book on Monarch.

Addams family on meth. This is the Black Hat report.

(01:04):
See you on the other side. Hello everyone, and welcome.
It's episode 134 of the Black Cat Report.
My name is Gil and joining me here today for this very
misguided voyage, the only man whoever cooked pizza on L Ron
Hubbard's boat. Joey.

(01:26):
You know, he didn't like it either.
Aaron Hubbard did not like it. And I was like, if you don't
like pizza, he he didn't even like pizza, but he just asked me
to do it. And I was like, why would you
ask me to do that? Is this phaeton free?
You're like I thought you said gluten free phaeton free and
threw it back in your face. It was a whole, whole kerfuffle.
He's actually gluten free. Two, he just threw it in my face

(01:48):
because it was, you know, it wasfine.
And yeah, before you asked me why I'm dressed like this girl,
I wanted to get, you know, we talked about that.
They're, they're getting on a voyage, you know, from where we
last off. They were, they were getting on
the voyage. They're just starting.
They're on their boat. They had their three dogs with
them. I just wanted to get in that
moment and I was like, man, how could I, how could I feel this

(02:10):
better? What would I wear on a boat?
You know, obviously I got your towel.
This is the towel I got from Italy.
It's my Italian, got my glasses on because I was like, you know,
obviously you don't want to go blind while you're out.
There islands vibes. Island vibing and you know my
nice shirt. I'm also trying to love it over
my really bad redneck suntan. Burn.
So at this point it's pretty much a sun tattoo.

(02:34):
That's what you've got. You have a full body sun tattoo.
Sun too. Yep.
Well Sir, just the same as Part 1 of the series, our main source
for this episode will be the sometimes erotically written,
very girthy book titled And the Sea Will Tell by Vincent

(02:55):
Bugliosi. The name That shit?
Great, do that. Start a second job as an
exterminator with this book. Now, As for a recap of Part 1, I
did my worst to include reminders of events in the
telling of Part 2. So without further ado, let's

(03:16):
get this Chaos Cruise going. The mistakes began immediately
when the Iola launched from the shores of Kauai on June 1st,
1974. After months of preparation
patches, library fees and dodgy legal decisions, Buck and
Stephanie had finally managed toload up the ship's cabin with

(03:38):
everything they thought they would need in order to start a
new life as island fugitives. Their plan was simple.
Reach Palmyra, grow a crap ton of weed and sell it to two
friends who would swing by the island at the end of August with
fresh supplies and a plan to smuggle the stash into Hawaii.
It was a bulletproof strategy. Yet somehow their weeks of

(04:02):
reading beginners guides to sailing didn't come close to
preparing them for the harsh realities of life in the open
seas. And so, fresh faced and bushy
eyed, they set off at sunrise and within the hours of setting
sail the wind completely died, leaving the Iola awkwardly
bobbing aimlessly in water just a few miles offshore.

(04:25):
I was. Thinking of names for their like
celebrity couple names. And I was like, you know,
Buckney is definitely one of like the names that, you know,
rang to me. And then I was like, but if
they're going to get stuck out in the the water, stuck.
Stuck. Is their name stuck.
You nailed it. Yeah.
Stuck. Stuck is.
Their name, yes, that's their celebrity name, is stuck.

(04:48):
Yep, to life. Well conscious of reserving the
fuel they had brought with them,they decided against using their
outboard motor and the two wouldbe kingpins along with their
three dogs just sat there waiting for hours.

(05:10):
They are right off the coast of Hawaii.
This is the start of their trip.But as luck would have it, by
that afternoon the wind gods smiled down upon them and picked
up their sails, thrusting them towards their destination at a
whopping 2 miles an hour. Truly breakneck speed.

(05:30):
That's huge speed on the ocean. I'm sure they were really
crushing it and what they got 3000 to go, they got 3000 miles
to go or 1500 to 3000 miles. That's they'll be there in a
couple. Years.
And so, with Hawaii now past thehorizon and the vast open ocean

(05:51):
all around them, Buck committed his first major mistake as a
rookie sailor when he assumed that less win meant he should
use less sails. And even further, he assumed
that little wind meant you should use little sails.

(06:15):
Like physically little sails or just little bits of sails?
He only used the smallest sail on the ship that's booked for
you. So you're, you're dealing with
the main large sail, generally huge ass triangle that kind of
goes from the, the, I guess the first like third of the ship all

(06:39):
the way back covering the last 2/3 of the ship.
And then you have a small jib, which is the very tiny front
triangle sail that covers the first third of the ship, the
front of the ship, the jib, because this is nautical
episode, the jib is mostly used for kind of like pulling and

(07:01):
steering in specific directions,right?
It's really kind of like pushingwhile the main back sail, that's
that's your horse. Like that's really given you.
Yeah, that's that's it. And his decision, we'll get into
that here in just a moment, but it was a beautiful decision.
Little sails little. Wind noted.

(07:23):
Little little wind, little sail makes sense in someone's head.
Well, as such, when this incredibly light breeze started
blowing, Buck put down the main sail and use the smaller jib,
the little small sail up front. This decision led the Iola to
moving in a jerking motion, similar to being in the car with

(07:48):
someone who's learning how to drive clutch.
More specifically, like when I turned my dad's head into a
bobble head when he was teachingme how to drive manual.
But in their case, while the Iola was jerking back and forth,
it was also rocking left and right and up and down, a victim

(08:12):
to the slow climbs and drops of every wave.
This is the most uncomfortable possible slow ass roller coaster
you can have missed. Poor dogs too.
The poor dogs that are just, Oh my God.
That's terrible. So they went from complete

(08:32):
stillness to being like. Almost complete stillness
forward but sideways and front ways.
Yeah, the. Opposite of stillness, but still
not moving forward. Keep in mind they're going 2
miles an hour. Yeah, they're jerking left and

(08:52):
right, up and down, faster than they are moving forward.
Could anybody compare this to people's lives right now?
You're just not moving forward, but we are going back and forth
and in like just a crazy, insanerocking motion.
That's a that's a great way to explain the news over the guests
the past. It's like a rocking horse.

(09:13):
Like if you go fast enough you can move a tiny bit forward, but
you're literally just moving back and forth and you can move
to the side. But you're also falling to the
side left. It's.
The world's best, worst roller coaster.
Aw man, this journey, this journey is our entire episode.
Just a heads up again people y'all are gonna see in Part 3

(09:35):
these motherfuckers are assholesand Buck is 100% a murderer.
We're gonna make fun of their bad decisions.
And it's easy when they make such bad decisions.
You know so well as such was thecase.
Seasickness set in immediately, most severely with Buck, who

(10:00):
after barfing his guts out, wentdown below deck to try and sleep
it off, while Stephanie was lefton her own to steer the ship.
The night passed with Buck only barely able to take the helm
once and temporarily relieve thevery exhausted, very paranoid
Stephanie, Who for the majority of the night was scared as hell

(10:23):
to step away for even a moment. She was worried that some
massive ship might not see them in the pitch black waters and
squash their already damaged, prone Iola.
I don't. Think that's how that works, but
OK. Yeah, well sadly this brief
respite would be a majority of all the sleep she would get over

(10:46):
the coming weeks of the journey.As by the middle of the second
day Buck was completely obsessedwith his new routine of waking
up late, eating a literal boatload of food, feeding the
fishes with the contents of his stomach, going back to bed,
waking up hours later reading cheesy spy novels, eating more

(11:10):
food, feeding more fishes and then going back to sleep.
Just a daily process of rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat,
all while tiny Stephanie sat, white knuckles shaking at the
helm with their three dogs running around barking non-stop,

(11:31):
whooping and pissing all over the jerking, swaying, always
partially sinking Iola. And I point out that she's tiny
not just for the imagery, but for the very real limitations
she faced as the only one happening.

(11:51):
Damn shit. This was a huge issue.
You see, Stephanie was quite literally too small in strength
and stature to hoist and handle some of the sails and rigging of
the ship. Meaning for the most part,
whatever sail situation Buck setup between barfing and sleeping

(12:12):
was what she would be stuck withfor hours.
Regardless of the weather, the wind or lessons, she was very
quickly learning she was stuck. Yeah, she's literally in the
middle of a shitstorm cause all the dogs pooping everywhere.

(12:32):
But also like the crazy thing isbasically, you know, in a
sailboat, like it's, it's not always like you think of a boat,
you know, for the most part is like especially like cruise ship
that it doesn't move. Like it pretty much goes like
straight, you know, you like youdon't, it doesn't tip much.
You know, that's the point of a of a huge ship, but a sailboat

(12:53):
constantly moving and especiallybecause of the thing, but it's
constantly like being on a side depending on where the wind is.
So you're constantly also movingyourself to create weight
balances on each side of the ship to make sure it doesn't
either flip over or stuff like that.
So she is also doing that while having to hold the steering

(13:13):
wheel and then try to also, I mean, she can't most of the
time. She probably was really was
struggling to to get some of thesails down if she could, you
know, she's like she have to do it.
She couldn't. She literally couldn't.
So it's just, yeah, so she's just like, yeah, white
knuckling. It's like, Oh yeah, damn.
And the whole time they're going2 miles an hour, rocking back

(13:38):
and forth, left, right, Uptown side side and just jerking.
Mm hmm. Just.
Just doing the cha cha slide allover the ship.
It's it's literally just being stuck in a car with somebody
learning clutch for weeks and they never get better.

(14:00):
It's. Just 07, 2 mph.
This is just. Literally seeing the same island
you, you're like just seeing thesame island like literally in
front of you at 2 mph and you'rejust like that island really
hasn't moved in like 2 days. You're just like, it's the

(14:23):
island in front of us. I think the island's moving.
It's moving faster than us. Yeah, Pangaea moved faster than
their boat is moving the. Continental Shelf is out running
us right? Now, yeah, it's just literally
getting closer to them. The island's getting closer to
them faster than the boats. It's this is this is so it's bad

(14:47):
so this is so bad. And I mean, we are only on page
two of the script. Y'all?
Yeah. No, I mean, but yeah, she might
be complacent in some things later.
But yeah, right now, poor Stephanie.
Well, so we just said this wholesituation sucked.
And by her calculations, on a good day they were only

(15:12):
averaging 20 miles every 24 hours.
Keep in mind this is a 1059 milelong journey.
If they kept up at this pace, itwould take 53 days instead of
five to seven days, which was the.

(15:34):
Damn. It's so bad now.
Other than being absolutely miserable this whole time, this
progress at a snail's pace was putting them at an even greater
risk when Stephanie had more than enough time to think over
as she sat baking in the sun allday while below deck Buck slept

(15:58):
in the aisle's cramped cabin. BDD.
The issue was their rations. You see, while still in Hawaii,
Stephanie had worked her butt off as a waitress at a tourist
restaurant, saving up every dollar she could for their trip.
While Buck had worked day and night repairing and re repairing

(16:20):
the Aiola. During this time she had been
the one in charge of planning and buying all the supplies for
this trip, ultimately spending around $1000, the equivalent
today of over 6 1/2 grand, whichis no small sum.
But here's the deal, this food had to last them for the trip to

(16:45):
the island and for the time it would take to get a vegetable
garden going once they got settled on the island.
And a huge part of the strategy relied on saving this store
bought food as long as possible by supplementing their diet with
fresh seafood, something they were very confident they could

(17:07):
do. As Buck had sworn to Stephanie,
he was a master fisherman. Now why does all that matter?
Well, the master fisherman absolutely sucked at fishing,
which will become a common themeas the story involves, but it's
not just that. More immediate to their

(17:30):
experience was Buck's obsession with some advice an old timer
had given him, saying the best way to get overseasickness was
to eat as much as possible. And so Stephanie sat there,
sunburned, her hair completely coated in sea salt, watching

(17:52):
Buck repeatedly throw up their rations all day and all night.
Look, how annoying. To make matters even worse,
cracks and old leaks in the Iolaopened up immediately after
setting sail. The rocking and jerking motion,

(18:15):
amplified by using the smaller jib, quickly weakened the
fiberglass patches Buck had madeover the wooden hall.
For anyone who caught Part 1 of the series, you might Remember
Me bringing this up as a big deal.
Well, this is where it becomes abig deal.
Yeah, because he's an idiot. A. 100% more ways than one.

(18:39):
You, you know, you know that he was, he was getting up like when
she's sitting there white knuckling the, the thing, he
comes up and he's just like eating a bag of Doritos.
Like they're only their last bagof Doritos.
And he's just like, how far did we get today?
And she's just like looking at him with like these white
knuckles on it, like just gripping hard.

(18:59):
So angry like is that is the last fucking bag of Doritos.
He's like, Oh yeah, I really need it to, I really need it to,
to make sure my stomach gets settled.
And she's like, that is my favorite.
That's Cooler Ranch Doritos. And I was trying to cool down
later after you took your turn. You are so far off from the

(19:23):
truth my friend. I know you and I would very
righteously act in that way, but.
Yeah. Stephanie, she, she's been with
Buck for a while now. She she can deal with Buck well.
There's a, a crazy thing before you get into this, there's a
crazy thing that they did back in the, the wailing days of like
how to like a cure seasickness, right?

(19:43):
So they used to take a fat, a string tied to a piece of fat
and you'd swallow the fat. Like if you're seasick, you'd
swallow the fat and they just pull it right out of your
throat. And they said that that stopped
your seasickness. And if it didn't, you did it
again, again and again and againuntil it stopped your
seasickness. And to be fair, I don't think it

(20:06):
did anything. I think they're just like, no,
I'm not seasick anymore. Yeah, I think that was a great
way to get people to shut up about being.
Sick. Yeah, I think that was the whole
point about stopping them. But yeah, that was what the old
whalers used to do. Buck should have done that and
they would have shut them up. Venice should have did that.
The buck? Well, so now we're looking at a
sinking ship, seasick crew made rapidly dwindling rations and

(20:31):
quickly growing piles of wet dogpoo rolling around everywhere on
a cramped boat that looks more like the inside of an unsecured
U-Haul that just drove through stop and go traffic on hills.
Stuff thrown everywhere and shitis fucked.
But Joey, this is also an opportunity to give some solid

(20:54):
life advice for any college kidsmoving out of their home for the
first time this summer. Take it from your Uncle Gil and
today's episode sponsor Bucks Fugitive Moving Services, unless
you want to see what your stuff looks like after it went through
a blunder. Don't get the biggest rental

(21:15):
truck just because it's cheaper.You're the one your stuff barely
fits into so that everything doesn't get thrown around and
broken. Always measure accordingly.
And always remember, whether you're leaving home for the
first time to pursue a degree and change the world for the
better, or sailing to a desertedisland to grow an ass load of
wheat weed and dodge a bench warrant, Buck's Fugitive Moving

(21:38):
Services has your ACT snug if you buck.
I think every episode you shouldcreate a new business.
I didn't create that though. This is Buck's business.
What's crazy too is that the whole boat just became.
They just created poop soup on the boat basically is what it

(21:59):
became. Just dog poop, soup and puke.
Don't know for the life of me there's only a couple moments
where they actually bring up what the dogs are doing over
this long, very long journey. I don't know what the fuck's
going on with these dogs, but I just imagine being thrown back
and forth and and for reference here, I don't know why I didn't

(22:22):
include it. There is an incredibly large
lap, a massive ass basically fighting Pitbull.
Pitbull. That's like the the 1990s
version of pitbulls that like the news tried to warn you
about. That's this Pitbull, right?
And then a very tiny little fluffy Pomeranian, you know,

(22:46):
just like I don't, I remember, fuck, I'm totally blanket.
I think it's name is like fluffer or no, it's like it's
puffer. I think the pip I think the
Pomeranians like the little white Pomeranian is literally
just named like puffer. It's there is shit of every size
flying everywhere. Just imagine Stephanie trying to
hold one wheel with the dog in the other hand, just like

(23:07):
holding the puffer in another arm.
Just trying to live in like puffer.
Are you OK? It's like puking everywhere and
it's just like, Oh my godness, this whole scene.
Terrible scene. It was so fucked up about how
these dogs ended up on on this yacht, right?
Yeah, honestly, yeah. Straight up.
The poor dogs. Before they left, Stephanie was

(23:28):
like, I have to take puffer and buck and literally said, well,
if you're taking puffer, I'm taking my dogs.
And she's, like, puffer's, like,really tiny and over the course
of a year eats like, barely a pound of food and takes up no
space and like, what the hell? This dog has no survival

(23:49):
instincts. And he's like, yeah, taking my
giant ass fucking untamed dogs with me.
It was literally just like, well, if you're doing it, I'm
doing it too. And that's why they have three
dogs on the boat. Every fucking person that sees
them with these dogs all says the same thing.
What the fuck are you doing withthose dogs on the boat?
Like, it's such. Yeah, it is obvious animal

(24:12):
abuse. I mean, it's it's, it's, it's
obvious animal. But like that, that's that's not
a common thing to do, not a goodthing to do.
And as we'll see, it's not safe for anything, even the fucking
boat, to be out there in these waters.
Well, I mean, you're calling it a, you're calling it a yacht.

(24:32):
I call it a yak. Yeah, cuz they're puking
everywhere. They're yakking.
Crickets. Where are the crickets?
Crickets. Well, back to the mayhem, Sir.
As I mentioned a moment ago, Stephanie was essentially glued
to the helm 24/7, sleep deprived, surrounded by hot,

(24:53):
wet, salty dog shit and watchingall their carefully laid plans
get vomited overboard every houron the hour.
She was horrified and clearly the only one aware of how this
situation was escalating, but she meant the moment with the

(25:13):
wisdom and patience of a St. andmade the decision to start
eating less in an attempt to slow down the loss of their
rations So very quickly into their trip.
She was dealing with all of those other things and starving,
living on just a couple pieces of toast with honey per day.

(25:37):
And this is all within the firstweek.
But that's not all, because herecomes a squaw.
It was around dusk on the 6th day of the voyage when Stephanie
noticed what looked to be low lying hitch black clouds
approaching them head on. As the clouds quickly swarmed in

(25:59):
a wall of freezing cold wind bashed into the Iola with
honestly the same heartlessness and intensity of walking through
the front door of a Walmart in July pairing with the wind.
Stephanie was nearly thrown intoshock as an icy rain began
pelting her hard as hail. These blasts of wind reaching up

(26:21):
to 54 miles an hour were so intense she started having
trouble breathing, saying the gusts knock the wind out of her
and then made it impossible for her her to catch her breath.
She was gasping for air, unable to move and quickly on her way
to experiencing hypothermia. At this point Bucks sprang into

(26:44):
action, jumping up out of the cabin to close the door that was
letting in waves of water splashing as it came over top of
the boat. But once he got it latched,
Stephanie heard an incredibly loud, dull thud as the shock of
something heavy hitting the death boomed across the boat.
It was Buck who, after securing the cabin door, was knocked

(27:09):
almost unconscious when he immediately slipped and bashed
his head against the safety. Rail Damn dude, Buck got knocked
just like you said. Damn, what an idiot dude.
He got knocked in the head. He can't be more different.

(27:30):
But also, but also I thought fora second you were going to the
point he heroically jumped up, closed the door and stayed
inside while she was upstairs. I thought that's where that was
going. It just like made her ride it
out. But you know, Stephanie did turn
into a human sail that day. She she felt the wind and helped

(27:51):
it and stop going forward as much.
We are nowhere close to over baby Stephanie.
Yeah, yeah. Still stuck to the helm,
grasping for air. Leaned over just in time to see
Buck roaming across the deck andoff the edge of the ship.
Good, yes. She tied down the wheel and ran

(28:13):
over to him, only to find he hadbeen caught in cheap netting
he'd wrapped around the boat to keep the dogs from sliding off.
It then took a full minute for him to become conscious enough
to untangle himself and climb back onto the boat.
This had been such a fucking ordeal the whole time they had

(28:38):
been sailing over this past week.
She kept telling him over and over.
If you're not going to wear a life vest when you're walking
around on the deck, at least secure yourself to a harness.
You're supposed to talk, yes. Being that toxic John Wayne kind
of motherfucker, he was like, it's real fucking easy, baby.

(29:03):
If I fall off the boat, just throw me a life vest.
To which she always replied whatif you're unconscious and he
always said don't worry about that.
So in a fucked up way he was kind of right because the cheap
ass dog netting he had wrapped the entire outside of the ship

(29:25):
with kind of saved. I mean, it did save him.
You want to. You want to.
He was almost a fish stuck on the side of.
The Gill you are demeaning this obvious genius that he knowing
his own stupidity, his own stupidity, he accidentally.

(29:46):
Never a dog. Man no, he accidentally created
something that helped himself out that he wasn't even planned
for because Buck is stupid. There's a storm.
It's known you harness yourself in if you're walking around and
still to this day. He should have stayed in the
bottom of the boat. He should have just locked the

(30:06):
door and stayed down there. Knuck if you buck, Knuck if you.
Buck Stephanie should just took care of him and just like kicked
him off and just like oops. Slowly cut the netting his stuff
with a fresh black eye. He's scowled at Stephanie and
went below deck to lay back down.

(30:27):
They're still in the middle of astorm and the Iola was being
pulled and jerked widely now by the towering waves and Gale
force winds. Against all fucking odds here,
she mustered up the strength to pull down the small sail and
quickly ran below deck to put ona rain suit and boots before

(30:50):
tying herself to a safety line and crawling back to the wheel,
where she attempted with all hermight to straighten out the
ship, which was now rocking almost entirely from side aside
the tops of the masts. We're now dipping into the
water, dog poo flying everywhere.

(31:13):
Everywhere. That literal shit.
She stood up, straining to straighten out the ship with sea
water splashing into her mouth. Her saintly patience finally
snapped and she started screaming out.
Buck, Buck, get the buck. God fucking damn it, Buck.

(31:38):
Hearing this, he got out of bed and made his way to the helm,
where it took both of them to straighten out their ship
against the waves. And just like that, within
moments of regaining control of the ship, the storm broke, waves
cleared, and they were finally back on calm waters.

(31:59):
They hugged and cried with joy before Buck went back down below
Tank and left Stephanie alone tosteer for the rest of the night.
That makes sense. But you know when when she's
like, fuck, get the fuck up here.
He gets up and he's eating Cheetos and he's like, what?
What's going on? What's going on?
I was good into a good part justholding.

(32:20):
Up Damn. Yeah, he's what he's watching on
this phone. He's watching The Sopranos.
Oh damn. I I got I'm at the last episode.
You know I love this Courtney episode.
It's like he's already seen it 20 times.
Yeah, he gets to the end of the episode, He gets the end of the
last episode, and he's just like, God damn it, I guess we
lost Internet connection becausethe screen just turned black.

(32:41):
Hold you, keep the ship straight.
Yeah, yeah. Come on.
There's a God man just flying atdog shit and piss.
She's been so locked to the fucking helm and like they're
not really able to. Like she's not taking time
during the day to slowly lower abucket over the side and you

(33:03):
know, pull up some seawater and try to rinse off that.
She's just scared as fuck. 0 experience going into this
steering a ship. No fucking experience
whatsoever. Bucks.
Only sailing experience was whenhe helped his dad build river
boats. The farthest fucking thing from

(33:26):
what they're doing right. Yeah, they're way different.
It's like, it's like, yeah, thisone time I rode a bicycle, so
getting in this fucking F1 should be easy.
It's like, no, it's not the. Same.
Yeah, I don't know if I mentioned, I don't know if I
mentioned the last episode, but I'm going to mention it now.

(33:46):
These people, they're still better at sailing and having
boats than my aunt is. She's sank 4 boats, 3345 boats
in between 3:00 and 5:00 boats. So they're still better on
commit. Never mind, we'll cut that.
We'll cut that. We'll cut.
We need to cut that. Yeah.
I don't know. Is putting a Chapstick tube in

(34:08):
the like plug of the boat? Is that a considered because the
chapstick tube is eaten away by salt?
I would say innocent until proven guilty.
I mean, is a is part of it, so. Now the next day marked one week
since the start of their voyage,and to add to their growing list

(34:30):
of problems, Stephanie had finally come to terms with the
fact they had literally no clue where they were.
You see, when they originally began making their plans to
travel to Palmyra, Stephanie hadvolunteered to be the navigator,

(34:51):
studying as much as possible in the very little free time she
had between long shifts of the restaurant.
For her, the months before theirdeparture was a non-stop crash
course and trying to learn how someone positions themselves at
sea. She was fully aware this whole

(35:12):
damn time how serious this was because every book, reference,
and conversation that came up around navigating to Paul Myra
all came with the same warning. Eating to that tiny island in
the middle of the ocean is not only challenging, but damn near

(35:33):
impossible even for the most season of navigators.
To truly put this difficulty of achieving this feed into
perspective, for you to even seethis small strip of low lying
land, you'd have to be within 5 miles of it.

(35:54):
Meaning that from the moment youleave Hawaii and begin the over
1000 mile trip to Palmyra, if you miscalculate your trajectory
or position in the open ocean I even just a little bit, you'll
likely end up passing right by it, crossing the equator and be

(36:18):
on an unknown path until you reach your next stop,
Antarctica. Perfect dead dead reckoning
errors. Errors compound on you, you
know. Palmyra itself is such a
dangerous place, not just for the curse and for the fact that
almost everybody that's ever found it has just crashed into

(36:40):
it, but for the fact that even trying to get there is such a
pain in the ass. Like it is so hard.
Like at sea, when you're in the open ocean and your days are in
this weeks or months away depending on what you're what
you're in. When your days or weeks, months
away from any form of land. 5 miles is nothing.

(37:04):
Sorry, flat earthers, but in terms of the curvature of the
earth and dealing with that on the open sea, and then even if
you are within 5 miles, it mightbe a tiny speck.
We're talking about a spot wherethe highest piece of land is
like 6 feet or something like that.
Above sea level. You have tall trees and shit,
but basically you're not seeing it unless you know for a fact

(37:27):
it's right there. You're not fucking seeing it.
This is such a pain. It's.
It's to get to and like you mentioned a moment ago.
This is before GPS or anything, bro.
Sex sense. I think we're at the what, 51
year anniversary at this point? This is all taking place in
June. Yeah, it's now June 2025.

(37:49):
So we're at the 50th anniversaryof this shit, right?
This is nuts. This is absolutely fucking nuts.
Well, with all that in mind, here's what went down every day
at the same times, Stephanie would religiously follow every

(38:09):
word of a book she'd brought with her, titled 10 Easy Steps.
To navigation. That's the literal navigating
for dummies at this time. And it's just like you're
betting your life on a book written for dummies on how to

(38:31):
survive. Honestly.
You know what, though? You know what?
I imagine I, I got, I imagine that she was sitting there, like
trying to navigate, right. She asked Buck, did you bring
the sex tent? And he's just like, yeah, I
brought it. Yeah, I brought it.
Can can you get me the sex tent?It's in my pants.
She's like, no, a real sex tent.And then yeah, they just don't

(38:54):
have a sex tent, which is how you.
Navigate. God, he had the easiest job of
all. He had to put the mix tapes
together and he couldn't even dothat.
The mix tape was just him going Yum.
This is some good Cheetos. And that's just the whole the
mix tape of the whole trip. You're you're not far off from
the truth. So with that in mind, here's
what went down every day at the same times.

(39:18):
Stephanie would religiously follow every word of a book
she'd brought with her titled 10Easy Steps to Navigation, and
every day she would get a completely different location
for where they were supposed to be at in the middle of the

(39:39):
ocean. Some days they were 300 miles in
One Direction, other days 700 miles in the opposite direction.
She was doing the exact same calculations each time, but the
results looked more like she'd been throwing darts at a globe

(40:00):
with a blindfold on. Joey, this next part is about
sea navigation, and spoiler, it's also a hint.
But the birthday gift I'm givingyou tomorrow, buddy.
I included this just because I know you're a fucking sea nerd
and I love you, man. Happy birthday week.

(40:20):
Thank you, 25th. Thank you guys, I'll be 37 so
send your birthday wishes if youwant.
You know you could. And Joey, tell me what kind of
birthday gift you're going to get tomorrow.
Don't know. You're telling me.
You're telling me I'm going? To quote, I was.
I'm going to quote. I didn't.
I forgot to tell you I was goingto quote.

(40:41):
OK, quote, quote. Go ahead.
Quote quoting now from the book.Oh wow.
Nevertheless, she doggedly followed the same routine each
morning. She tied the wheel down,
surveyed the horizon and went below, tuning the AMFM
transistor radio to the international channel that gives

(41:02):
a soft tick picking sound of Greenwich.
Meantime, the seconds ticked offuntil a melodic recorded female
voice said at. The tone.
Meantime will be 21 hours and 10minutes, 3 or 4 seconds.

(41:23):
A louder tick signaled the minute mark.
At exactly that moment, Stephanie started the stopwatch
and went Tom side, dutifully following the step by step
instructions in her how to book.She raised the sextant and
looked into the eyepiece that reflected through a tiny Oval

(41:45):
mirror the line of the horizon in relation to the position of
the sun. Once fixed on that point, she
checked the corresponding scale of numbers on the bottom of the
sextant, which gave her the angle between the horizon and
the sun. Stephanie would then go back
below and use the navigation book to translate the sextant's

(42:06):
number into a formula based on several factors, including the
season of the year and the exacttime of day.
Finally, she drew a line of position quote on a chart of the
Central Pacific, quoting from the book.
Of course, this is not a line ofposition as much as a curve or

(42:29):
circle of position. What you are measuring is the
geographical position of the sunat the time of your sighting.
End Quote from the book. From the book. 4 hours later she
repeated the process. She extended the first line of
position until it met on the chart with the latest one with

(42:52):
the 2 lines crossed was supposedto be their current position.
But every time Stephanie saw thehaywire result of her careful
work staring up at her, she feltlike throwing the Sexton and
book overboard. They were lost.

(43:13):
That's rational. That's rational.
Just the, the stuff that you useto measure, just get rid of, get
rid of it because you'll be ableto find your way much better
without a book and a sextant, which is the only way you can
figure out how to get there. I imagine that one of those
times just accidentally, she wasright, but she was just like,
God damn it, that's wrong. You know, and she's like, we're,

(43:35):
we're just like outside of Hawaii and she's like, that's
not correct. We've gone way farther than that
and they're just like literally 5 feet outside of Hawaii.
And it's like, Oh no, that's that's the actual right.
That's the actual right one. You're.
Still in the pool at the Hawaii YMCA.
Could you please leave? Please leave, there's poop

(43:56):
everywhere. They're just on MDA this whole
time. This spoiler this whole trip is
them just high as fuck on their own drugs.
It's a trip. This is all a trip.
Boom. Did you figure out what your
gift was? No, no idea.
Is it? Is it boating for dummies?

(44:18):
I mean, I would love. That I would.
Probably need that. That would be good.
They got you something sexy for your birthday.
It's a. Section I I did guess that yeah
I just. I wanted to be surprised.
Gil, that's cool. That is awesome.
I love it. Hell yeah.
It'll go in the background of mylike I'm just going to collect
sea related nautical stuff and and just put it.
In the random shit I gift you isgoing in the back.

(44:41):
Dude, yeah. I mean, once I move, once I
move, I'm going to start puttingstuff up.
The goat is going to be up thereand then I'll have the sex
sentence there. So as it should be, it'll be
right above my shoulder. So it looks like I'm carrying
all this weight, carrying all this weight of this knowledge,
you know. Exactly.
So this whole damn time, becausethey've been rocking and

(45:04):
rolling, getting turned around, flipped sideways, and literal
shitstorms attacking them, theironly form of true navigation has
been a compass that they've beenusing to try and keep the ship
pointed South. That's it.

(45:26):
Otherwise they have no clue where the fuck they're at.
This whole. God damn time.
Damn. And again, they're trying to
make a straight line, right? Trying to go straight down from
Hawaii. They're off by 5 miles.
Their next stop is Antarctica. Yeah, well, you can't double

(45:47):
back either on a sailboat, so it's like you.
Can't you don't know where you're at?
Anyway, yeah, yeah, you wouldn'tbe able to if you're off 5
miles, you probably, you wouldn't be able to see
something that's like 5 above sea level or not above sea level
at all. So.
With all that said, luck finallygrace them.
On the 10th day, Stephanie woke up and had an epiphany.

(46:11):
She had been using calculations in the book for sailing South of
the equator. Hawaii and Palmyra Atoll are
north of the equator, something you, my good friend Joey so

(46:32):
poignantly mentioned in a previous episode about Palmyra.
Well, mm. Hmm.
With this new revelation, she sprang out of bend, grabbed all
the numbers she had recorded over the previous days, and ran
out onto the deck to start recalculating their positions
with the correct logarithms. The numbers finally added up,

(46:59):
and as it turned out, they were halfway to Paul Myra.
The two of them bursted with joyand began screaming with
excitement, dog shit and all. They were just like, Oh my, you
know, that's nobody wanted to admit it.

(47:19):
Yeah, Sheer. Buck luck.
That's sheer buck luck right there.
Is that literally they are on the, they're like, man, we are
not close to where we need to be.
And it's like literally they're halfway there and they're like,
no, that's like you driving, youknow, you forgetting how you get
to a place and then you just taking the wrong turn, but

(47:40):
somehow you end up on the right Rd.
You're just like, you know, you end up on the right Rd. with the
wrong navigational directions and you're like, what the what
the hell? And you just get there and it's
like, well, I guess the destination is better than the
journey. Well, with this new revelation,
she sprang out of bed, grabbed all of the numbers she had

(48:00):
recorded over the previous days,and ran out onto the deck to
start recalculating their position with the correct
logarithms. The numbers finally added up,
and as it turned out, they were halfway to Palmyra.
The two of them bursted with joyand began screaming with

(48:21):
excitement. 3 days later, on the3rd 18th day of their voyage,
luck found them again. Kind of.
It had taken almost 2 full weeks, but Buck was finally

(48:41):
getting his sea legs and starting to help out more on the
ship. Not to mention they had finally
started using both of the sails,which helped them move faster
and stay more steady. I'm sure it's unrelated, but
anyways, all of a sudden, while Stephanie was below deck
drafting up new estimates of their position, she heard Buck

(49:04):
yell out for help. She ran topside and saw him
struggling with this fishing line, whatever it was.
Again. It was bucking huge.
Stephanie's face lit up. They were finally going to have
something besides their rations.He yanked at it at just the

(49:27):
right moment and pulled up a massive 30 LB tuna right onto
the deck. That's fucking impressive.
That is impressive. Scratch, That's bucking.
Impressive. But before the shock of what
just happened could even set in,Buck shouted out the hooks in

(49:47):
my. Oh my God, why why why did the
hook get stuck? Why?
I guess he's dumb. I.
Guess at some point between wrestling the fish on board and
trying to hold it down, Buck hadmanaged to get the giant deep
sea fishing hook, barbs and all,almost entirely through his

(50:14):
thumb. Damn, you can't get that back
out either. You got to cut the edge off.
You got to snip it and say. Funny you should say that Joey,
cuz I'm getting into details about what they had to do next.
Love it. He paused for a moment and did
what he had to do. He pushed the hook deeper into

(50:38):
his thumb until it came out of the other side.
Think about, for just a moment, getting a hook shoved into your
thumb, any honestly any part of your thumb, and getting to that
point where you realize the onlyfucking way you're dealing with
this is if you Pierce it all theway the fuck.

(51:00):
Find a part of your thumb where it's more convenient than
others. I dare you.
I thought about this just yesterday.
There's not a single part of your thumb where it's more
convenient to shove off. Now if it was my pinky, I'd be
like, I think like the second part, yeah.

(51:20):
Anyways I. Hope he cut the string.
I hope he cut the string too instead of just like.
Now the fish is Now the fish is catching him.
Yeah, yeah. The string, the string's still
in his hand. He's like, why won't this come
out? And he just keeps pulling the
string through his finger, the hole in his finger.
Well, point is, it's bad. This is bad.

(51:44):
It's bad at this fucking point. She told Stephanie to get out a
metal file and had her start filing off the barbs of the hook
still stuck in his fucking thumb.

(52:05):
Why? I'm not going to ask.
If you look at a deep sea hook back up near the eye, there's a
couple barbs. Back down where the actual lower
part of the J of the hook, there's barbs, There's big
barbs. Doesn't matter which way you do
it, you gotta get rid of the barbs somewhere.
Kind of. You should probably not listen

(52:26):
to the person with the fishing hook through the thumb who's in
shock about how to respond to a situation.
Key point here. Anyways, she started filing off
the barbs. With each stroke, more and more
blood began gushing out of his thumb until finally they gave
up. Buck took out a pair of pliers

(52:50):
and snapped off the end of the hook before grabbing it by
himself, grabbing it by the eye and yanking the whole fucking
thing out of this. Wow, so baby.
So they should have cut it off anyways.

(53:13):
That should have been the first reaction, Steph.
I mean, I know it's it's a crazy, it's a crazy thing to do.
You don't file it down because you're as I don't know why I'm
trying to make sense of this because it doesn't make sense
and it's stupid. Yeah, you're slowly, you're
filing it and it just keeps moving in their thumb.
And so instead of just taking like which they should have took
not bolt cutters. You don't even need that for a
deep sea hook. You could just use like some

(53:35):
kind of wire cutters, which would probably work, which you
should be bringing. They just use.
Pliers. Yeah, they just use pliers.
They just use pliers. And cut it at the top and that
way you literally just pull it out right above where the where
The thing is and you can just pull it out on the bottom.
I mean, if I'm wrong, send it tous.
If you know how to actually do it, send it to us at contact at

(53:57):
black cat dot report on through e-mail.
Send us how to actually do it because that's something
interesting. That's first aid to know.
All I know next time I go fishing gonna be a while.
I haven't gone fishing in a longtime.
Next time I go fishing, I'm wearing.
Gloves. Good idea, which they should be
doing too. This, this taught me, you should

(54:20):
wear gloves. You should wear gloves.
You know, at least in this kind of situation.
This sounds horrible. Anywho, days would pass, some
with more progress than others. Their their trip right that was
supposed to take only a week maximum, was now getting closer

(54:41):
to three. But on the morning of June 19th,
Stephanie bursted out of the cabin and proclaimed that by
3:00 PM that evening, they will be seeing Paul Myra Atoll on the
horizon. Having been eating better and

(55:03):
getting regular sleep, she was now confident as a navigator and
knew for a fact that if they could hold their current speed,
they were only hours away from their destination.
Cool. Finally.
Yeah, now legit. Sure enough, she was bucking

(55:25):
right by 4:15 PM early that sameevening.
Heard her crying out from the helm.
Land hoe, land hoe. And he was like, where?
I don't see her. Dogs included, began barking and
yelling out with excitement. They busted out from and it

(55:49):
started toasting. Made love, all that fucking
jazz, right? But as we know from episode 131,
when we covered the very colorful history of Palmyra,
reaching the island is only halfthe battle.
The real danger of Palmyra is the intense, often deadly coral

(56:16):
reefs surrounding it, acting like a crown of jagged thorns
stretching out from the island. The only way to dock on its
shore is to carefully navigate through a very narrow channel
that the US Army had blasted into the coral on the island's

(56:39):
western side way back during World War 2.
Stephanie and Buck both knew this from their research into
the island. Thank you, Hawaii public
libraries. So they approached from the
north and began a very, very slow, tedious process of

(57:04):
circling down to the island's left side from, you know, the
direction there come from. Anyways, there was a catch, of
course. Once they got close to the mouth
of the channel, they realized the outboard motor.
They had been attempting to preserve fuel for this entire

(57:29):
time. Specifically for for this moment
when they needed to carefully thread the eye of a needle.
Well, motor was completely frozen up out of sheer bucking
laziness. Buck had left the motors sitting
out in the open on the ship's deck this whole bucking time,

(57:53):
leaving it exposed to the sea salt and elements.
It was completely bricked. It's, yeah, rusted.
It was one of those things over these past two, almost three
weeks where he's like, I'll get it tomorrow.
Yeah. Tomorrow, in the meantime, he's
like what happens on page 47, you know, like he wasn't doing

(58:15):
anything. There's nothing else to do, just
move it. Honestly, just put a fucking
tarp over it. Put a bucking tarp over it.
You know, like anything else. Just keep the dog poo and sea
salt off of it. Doesn't matter one time.
They need this bucking motor frozen, bricked up all their all

(58:35):
their reserves of fuel. Worthless.
Yes, doesn't matter all the. They could have just used the
motor to get there faster if they had not thought it.
Would have had a a lot better start.
I mean, part of the reason of having that motor when you don't
have a boat that's sinking constantly is you hit.

(58:56):
You hit the Dundrells, you hit the, you hit the areas where
there's literally no wind. That's not how the wind currents
work. They're dead zones in the ocean
for sailboats. You turn on your motor and you
blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip.
Get out of it. Blip, blip, blip, blip, blip,
blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip,
blip. That's what a motor sounds like.
Yeah. And you just slowly work through
it until eventually you get there.

(59:18):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of how it works.
It's a supplement. Your motor is a supplement to
your to your gut, Yeah. Your sails, Yeah.
Or when you need to go down a very narrow channel or into a
harbor or some sort of docking situation and relying on wind
and swaying left and right and kind of zigzagging all over the
fucking place isn't the best idea.
You need precision. Well, what should have been a

(59:43):
very careful, very slow motorized approach to the
island's internal lagoon now hadto be done through sailing.
They were at the whim of the wind and now just floating
around the island. I'm going to quote now from the

(01:00:05):
ship's logs that Stephanie had been keeping this whole damn
time. Keep in mind, they've left
Hawaii on June 1st. Quote June 19th.
Land Ho. At 4:15 PM we spotted Palmyra
off our port side. Wind very light, unable to make

(01:00:28):
landfall before dark. Headed E Strong winds all night,
then be calmed June 20th. Spotted Palmyra again this
morning. Dead West winds, very light,
very frustrating rain squalls and enough wind to get us just

(01:00:51):
about where we were yesterday atthis time.
But then the wind ceased. So near, yet so far away.
June 21st. God, the winds were light last
night and are brisk today. We are having trouble relocating

(01:01:13):
the island. Oh my God.
June 22nd. Oh my God.
Three days. June 20 within June. 22nd
remember these people are murderers.
This is why we're making fun of them.
June 22nd who didn't find her? Lowered all sales last night.

(01:01:37):
No win through today. Reading took sights June 23rd.
Fair trade winds hoisted all sails and went in pursuit of our
island RE Lando at 12:30, givingus plenty of time to gain
anchorage for her entry. We're hoping for a SE wind.

(01:02:02):
We are off southwest of shore. Saw a light on the island at
night, possibly another boat question mark.
June 24th. So nice to wake up and have the
island right there in front of us.
But unable to get there. June 25th.

(01:02:22):
Good God. OK, go.
June. 26 days, 26 days, which was supposed to be 5 to 7 days.
OK, go ahead. You're so right.

(01:02:45):
You're so fucking right. June 26th, Another day of
reading. Strong northeastern winds
continue June 20. 6th Oh my God,it's OK now.
Please get there. Just fucking get there.
This is just like the end of TheSopranos, the last season.
It's like by the time you're halfway through the season

(01:03:06):
you're just like just please fucking end.
I don't care if he dies or lives, just end.
You're in episode 20 and there's23 episodes in the season.
You're just like, this doesn't make sense.
Just fucking end, God. You haven't even gotten any.
Honestly, the murder is my patience.
June 26 Buck caught two big fishthis morning, soaked them in

(01:03:33):
brine and hung them out to try. We'll use for bait.
A family of Mansa rays came scouting their dinner.
Didn't see Steve Irwin still Northeast Trains, still waiting
and reading. I made-up one part of.
That. Also shout out Steve Irwin, I I

(01:03:53):
still love you bud much now and float.
God they got there on the 19th. That last reading from from the
logs was June 20. 6-7 days, Seven days, Almost as long as
the ring. They would have died if they
watched the ring on the day theygot there.

(01:04:15):
They would have died before theygot to the island.
Bucks just came up and he's likewait, wait, wait, wait, wait a
second. We can't go to shore yet.
I just watched some crazy shit. Hey, hold on.
This motor doesn't work. Yeah, hold on this morning,
doesn't we? The southeast wind finally came
on the morning of the 27th, 8 days after first reaching the

(01:04:40):
island. The couple both shot out of bed,
raised the sails and ran to the helm, took the will, got the
ship lined up to enter the channel and the wind died.
God. Heartbroken and expressionless,

(01:05:01):
they were heartbroken and extensionless.
They were now slowly drifting backwards in the water, but
before it was so bad that they got up to the channel and the
natural flow out of the lagoon started pushing them away.

(01:05:22):
They just sat there watching their dreams float away as
they're into it just so I can see their faces and they're just
like so excited. They got, they got big fish, you
know, And then they're in there and just slowly floats away.
They were having like arguments about like should we just use

(01:05:43):
the fucking robots and abandonedall of.
Our supplies, yeah, use the oars, figure it out like.
Heartbroken and expressionless, they were now slowly drifting
backwards in the water. But before they could even let

(01:06:06):
out a sigh, they heard a crunch.The ship had backed into a reef.
Good. At least they stopped him.
Buck didn't hesitate, he straight up, just like this is

(01:06:27):
the one thing that he's been good at, honestly, this whole
fucking time. This whole Bucking time is when
there's like a very extreme moment, he snaps into action.
Maybe it was all of his time, but San Quentin, I don't know.
But the point is, Buck didn't hesitate and he just straight up
dived off the edge of the ship. No, look, he swam down below the

(01:06:49):
boat and started checking where they had made impact with the
coral. Everything seemed to be fine,
luckily for them. Here's the thing, the Iola
frisky in terms of constantly wanting to self end themselves.

(01:07:10):
Right. Yeah, yeah.
But the lowest portion, very lowest portion of the build of
the Iola, it's it's hall had been cast iron plated to protect
it specifically from situations like this.

(01:07:30):
Buck swam back up to the surfaceto catch his breath, another
huge gulp of air, and dove back down to get a closer look.
And that's when he realized he wasn't alone.
Their new neighbors had come outto see what all the commotion
was and staring right back at him.
It was a six foot black tip reefshark.

(01:07:55):
Nice. Buck flew out of the water like
a Looney Tunes character, barelymaking it up the side of the
Iola before the shark had a chance to turn him into a Bucky
snack. And to jump.
And it was about that time the couple heard off in the distance

(01:08:18):
a middle-aged man yell out from the channel.
Hi, need some help. There were a couple of small
motorized boats approaching the Iola.
Stephanie quickly pleaded back to them.
Dear God yes. While Buck stood silently next

(01:08:41):
to her, the helpful strangers attached rope to the bow and
began taxing the Iola through Palmera's notorious channel.
As they were slowly brought intothe island's protected lagoon,
Buck leaned over to Stephanie and whispered, Remember, my name

(01:09:04):
is Roy Allen. Don't slip up.
To which Stephanie replied, OK, Roy, but what are you going to
do about that big old tattoo that says Buck on your arm?
And that's where we'll pick backup next week with the Paul My

(01:09:27):
Red Tall Murders Part 3. Today's Dang that boat should be
called The Art of Harry Carey. Howdy, howdy instead.
Of I love Harry Carey. No, but I mean Hari Kari like
killing yourself because the boat is just going to be
committing. The boat tried to commit sapuka
on itself. Well, my good brother Joey,

How's the wind sound when it's going by your face?
You know when you're on the you're in.
It's more like you're in front of a microphone.

(01:13:22):
boat and you're like, you know, you're trying to talk to the
person next to you, and you're just like, instead of being
like, oh, it's really like, nicechill time.
You're just like, hey, hey, do you remember that one thing?
And they're like, what? This is what it's the story is
going to be about. It's a lot of yelling at each
other over top of it. This is not accurate at all.
Joey has no idea what he's. Talking about, I read the

(01:13:44):
script, I read the script, and this is exactly what's in it.
Yes, yes I did. I know.
I know where you hide your scripts.

Yeah. That was a good script though
