On the evening of November 18th, 2013, Allen Fletcher was captaining a boat for a couple who were sailing to Bellingham, WA. After docking on Whidbey Island for the night, Fletcher left the boat, and was never seen again.

Not until 2023 when two scuba divers discovered a drivers license, a jacket, and human remains.

In this episode of What We Sea, we'll hear the incredible story of how Allen Fletcher made it home to his family.

Footage of Langley Harbor, where our story takes place, can be found on our new YouTube Channel!
