Message in a Bottle from Hamburg Solved with Help from BILD

It has been a great week! First, I connected with 8-year-old Lily from Fort Lauderdale whose message in a bottle I found back in 2015. And now, we have solved the 23-year-old message in a bottle from Hamburg that my brother found, sent by a woman named Gerda! That’s thanks to BILD reporter Franziska Ringleben who used some magical reporter tricks to research the name on Evan’s note and solve this mysterious message in a bottle from Hamburg. We are so lucky to have this hobby! Continue reading →

Message in a Bottle Day 2017

Like any family, my family has some strange holiday traditions. But the strangest has got to be Message in a Bottle Day.

Buffington messages in bottles waiting to be opened

Buffington family messages in bottles, waiting to be opened.

We all have jobs and responsibilities, so when we find messages in bottles, we can’t always open them right away. They are, after all, irreplaceable and fragile, and usually require a lot of time and care during the opening and preserving process.

Imagine you are marching in heat of about 100F, and the sun is intense–no clouds to protect you; imagine you are in a city, with the sun bouncing up off the pavement, and high humidity.
