It's Taylar's week and to kick off the celebrations: YOU GET AN EARLY RELEASE OF PART 2!! Taylar covers part 2 of the case of the Bluebelle. It was November 1961 when the Dupperault Family of 5 left Fort Lauderdale on the Bluebelle with Julian Harvey as their Skipper. What was supposed to be a week of incredible memories ended in horror when Harvey was discovered floating in the middle of the Northwest Providence Channel in a dingy with the lifeless body of a little girl by an oil tanker - alone. Harvey would then tell investigators a tragic tale about a squall that was so strong it forced the ketch to keel over before swinging upright at such a force that the main mast snapped in half, falling on the deck, damaging the boat, starting a fire, and ultimately sinking the Bluebelle, as well as the lives of the Duperrault family and his own wife. Investigators had no reason not to believe his story- that is until the Greek Freighter, Captain Theo, spotted a small oblong cork float carrying an unconscious little girl clinging on to her life floating in the middle of the ocean. Hope you enjoy this early release as a special gift from Taylar to kick off her birthday week! If you would like to read the book Taylar references throughout it is- Alone: Orphaned on the Ocean Tune in Thursday for Tay's big Birthday Bash!! ILY!!
