AskRaven WeekendTrilogy EP3 | Three Days Adrift — Blind Survivor & the Ghost Crew

Ask Raven.

I circle above the waters where memory does not sink.
Where storms keep names.
Where the sea remembers every crossing.

In the dead of winter, a halibut longliner goes down in Hecate Strait.
All hands are lost… except one.

For three days, a single man drifts alone in a survival suit, blind from seawater, telling himself the same thing again and again:
Hold on until dawn. Rescue will come.

What he does not know is that the sun is already rising.
He simply cannot see it.

On the third day, helicopters are launched — not to rescue survivors, but to recover bodies.
Instead, they find a living man.

And in the darkness, while he waits for a dawn he cannot see, something else comes for him across the waves:
a small wooden dory,
three silent men rowing without sound,
a crew not meant to save… but to collect.

This is a story of survival, belief, and the thin line between holding on and letting go.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Ask Raven.
For the wise one listens and answers with song.

In Weekend Trilogy Episode Two, Raven circles above Seymour Narrows,
a narrow throat of water where tides move faster than thought
and the sea keeps its own count.

This spoken-word episode tells the true story of the Miss Joy,
a fishing vessel that entered the Narrows in darkness
and rolled for the third time.

A cook was trapped underwater inside an overturned ship.
The current was violent.
Air was fading.

Then a diver entered the wreck.

What followed was a miracle rescue —
a moment of courage pulled from impossible conditions
and returned to the surface.

This is a spoken-word sea story about survival,
about timing,
and about the rule of three the sea seems to obey.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.

Ask Raven.
For the wise one listens and answers with song.

This is Episode One of the Ask Raven Weekend Trilogy — a spoken-word sea poem drawn from a true coastal encounter near Bella Bella.

On a birthday night aboard the PE-224, a phantom gillnetter appeared in dark water and led six souls toward unseen rock.
What followed was not a chase of speed, but of memory — a ghost boat moving faster than it should, guiding the living toward danger.

Told from above by Raven, this story blends maritime lore, Indigenous memory, and poetic narration, echoing the rule of threes that runs through coastal history.

Three nights.
Three stories.
One voice that never forgets.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.
