Well, I found Janet and Bruce LaClair’s message in a bottle in February 2008. They had sent it from the bridge in New Hope, Pennsylvania, in 1981.

"April 4, 1981. Launched from the Delaware River, New Hope, Pennsylvania. To Whomever is the finder and keeper of this bottle. This is the date of our wedding and the start of our life together. We are leaving Pennsylvania on April 6th, 1981 to go on our honeymoon at Key Largo, Florida until April 12 of the same year. We hope to find this bottle while there and figure out the traveling time of which the botle took (if it is a good time, the next time we come down there we will build a raft and just float down). If found, please respond with place found and date. Thank you. Mr. & Mrs. Bruce La Clair, P.O. Box 131, Pipersville, PA"

But how would I find them? The message was older than I was! Continue reading →

How I Found a Message in a Bottle Older Than Me – By Stepping on It!

One day in February of 2008, I stepped on this message in a bottle:

janet-laclairs-message-in-bottle-copy_credit

That’s how I found it—no kidding: I stepped on it.  I was walking on dunes covered in vines and succulent tropical plants, and suddenly my foot slipped off something roundish.  When I pulled back the vines, there was this bottle, glinting sunlight back at me.

Valentine’s Day Message in a Bottle Leads to Year Long Quest for Authors

Here’s the beautiful, romantic message in a bottle I found in 2007. This greeting of peace and love was sent by Ed and Carol Meyers on their first wedding anniversary, which was Valentine’s Day, 1999. You may recall that the brown smudges on the message are the remains of their wedding cake – they had saved a piece of it for their first anniversary, and included some in their Valentine’s Day message in a bottle!

Ed and Carol's Valentine's Day Message in a Bottle

Ed and Carol’s Message in a Bottle, sent on Valentine’s Day, 1999. I found it in 2007.

I googled the names I found on the message, Ed and Carol Meyers, and found nothing.  I searched the Fredericksburg white pages; nothing. I even emailed the resort whose stationary they used for the message, but never heard back. Continue reading →

Message in a Bottle, Cake in a Bottle. What’s The Difference?

In 2007, I found this message in a bottle. It was one of the first messages I ever found, and also one of the strangest. I didn’t know it yet, but this wasn’t just a message in a bottle. It was also a cake in a bottle!

Cheers!

I found it on the beach of this one desolate island I hiked to with my brother and my dad. Here’s a map of the hike we went on that day: Continue reading →
