I don't think I mentioned the message-in-a-bottle that we found on Northeast Cay (Herald Cays) out in the Coral Sea on Father's Day!
We were very excited as it is the first real, travelling message in a bottle that we have found! We found one once before, on Middleton Reef....but that one had just been left on a wreck by some previous visitors. This bottle had travelled about 1750 nm across the sea!! Apparently it had been released by some people on the PO Pacific Pearl cruise ship last October (2014)....somewhere between Tonga and Norfolk Island. They used a Moet et Chandon bottle....which I am sure helped increase the odds of it surviving its voyage! I wish they had sent it in a full bottle though ;)!! There is a list of names and addresses in the bottle, and I am in the process of writing to them all. Have you ever found a real, well-travelled message in a bottle? It's a bit fun!!
