Two Irish Sisters, Two Messages in Bottles

There are a few kinds of message in a bottle stories I am a sucker for. Near the top of the list are those involving kiddos, and those highlighting the plastic pollution plague in our ocean. This story does both!

Rachel and Olivia, 12 and 9 respectively, each sent a message in a bottle while on a family outing in Brittas Bay, Ireland, near Arklow, according to BBC Wales.

A Bizarre 1987 Message in a Bottle Mystery Emerges From California Pond

Well, this is a weird one! A 1987 message in a bottle mystery from a small lake in California.

Enviro-crusader and “litter picker” Paul Southworth (I am a fan!) was recently out cleaning trash from Arastradero Lake in California–it’s nestled in the San Francisco Bay area. Woo hoo!

Fearless Explorers: Cremated Sailors of the Seven Seas

Ashes in a Bottle Become Popular “Final Journey” For Deceased Loved Ones

Life is such an amazing adventure that most folks don’t want it to end. And when it inevitably does, some send their loved ones on a final journey–but putting cremated ashes in a bottle and sending it to sea. In recent years, a number of beachcombers have stumbled upon human ashes in bottles. In every case, the person whose ashes are in the bottle was deeply loved by their family, and the family chose this gesture as a way of honoring the person’s love of travel or desire to see the world.

Personally, my favorite version of this memorial is the kind that implores the finder to share a drink with the “person” whose ashes are in the bottle.

If you find human remains in a bottle tomorrow, I guarantee a stiff drink is going to make you feel less nervous. Continue reading →

Pip Manby: I Found Two Messages in Bottles From the Same Person (Plus a response from that person!)

Arctic Eagle, Craig Drover, Friendship, message in a bottle, Pip Manby

It may sound funny coming from me, but the odds of finding even a single message in a bottle are astronomical. Finding two from the same person? That’s just bananas. My family and I have found a few from the same senders, technically–like the Guinness messages in bottles–but they’re a big company, and they sent 150,000 of them! As for individual people, I knew of only one other person in the world who had found two messages in bottles from the same individual person. Until I heard from Continue reading →
