In 2014 Sailing on the Pacific midway between the Galapagos and the Marquesas we wrote notes, stuck them in a bottle and tossed it over. Last night I got an email from a constable in Queensland informing me that they found the bottle. Here is the press article. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-25/police-find-bottled-message-on-far-north-qld-beach/7199082What are the odds?????

How cool is that! What a trip that bottle made! I guess you will have to avoid traveling to Australia. There may be a warrant with your name on it awaiting on the charge of littering! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Teased the owner today that there was not only a littering fine but a cleanup fee too. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
