“I woke up to being face-first slammed into the side door in the wheelhouse,” Kelsey Leak said. “The door busted open, and I landed outside on the walkway.' Her boyfriend's boat — their second home — was sinking, and soon they lost their skiff, too.
Dahl was a fisherman — a power troller. His boat, the 39-foot Randi Jo, was like a second home to the couple. Dahl and Leak had been dating for about a year, but their love had bloomed quickly.It was a clear, sunny day near Point Baker on Nov. 27. Leak says there was calm wind and the waters were foam. She and Dahl took the Randi Jo to gather firewood. On the way back to town, Leak curled up in the wheelhouse to take a nap with Petrie, her parrot, tucked into her shirt.
“I remember him running to the bow and he’s like, come on, come on, come get me,” said Leak. “My brain is trying to work, and I got up to the midship line again, and a wave pushed the skiff up under the lip of the sinking ship.” But to Leak, the distance looked at least twice as long as what they’d just swam. She’d had a bit of survival training. And her gut told her not to leave that rock. She tried to convince Dahl they should stay, but he insisted.She watched him swim out, his head disappearing in the distance. And then it was just her and her dog Mili.
Leak and Milli faced a long, cold night. Leak’s clothes were still wet. They were synthetics, so they kept her somewhat warm. But it got down to around 26 degrees that night. “I was waving my hands from 7:30 until 2 pm and trying to get somebody’s attention,” Leak said. “I had some moments on the rock that I was — I mean, it was daylight. I’m starting to process my grief.”
The boat was the Dell II, coming back from a hunting trip. As soon as people found Leak, the search for Dahl started.
