Message in a Bottle


For several years I have been earning my keep by plying the worlds oceans. On each ocean passage of each ship I have sailed on I have made a point to cast a message in a bottle into the sea, then I wonder: "Who will find this note?", "What language will they speak?", "Where will they find it?" Now for the first time I have answers to those questions about one message in a bottle:

Aloha,

We found your message dated 3/29/05 today. It was pretty soggy.

The bottle washed up on a small inlet on the northeast coast of Kauai. A mile or so north of Anahola.

It was lucky that it didn't break on the surrounding rocks. Can send pics if you like.

Take care,

Topper and Suzanne Driggs
