I think it's 'We never shot the smoke signal'.

I thought it sounded like that too, but then again, that hardly makes sense. unless you can explain?

I think by 'smoke signal' they mean something like a distress flare. Meaning, they never shot it, because they were quite happy where they were and didn't want to be found, since they also refused the dolphins who offered them a ride.
