Re: Message-in-a-Bottle - Launched / Found?

We've been sending out messages in bottles for years. Here's a map about the first 22 we sent and the ones that were found,

We've done many since but haven't logged them. No others have been found (yet).

Cheers,
Bruce

When River Vandenberg was at the west beach, in Belle River, this fall, he found a bottle. The kindergarten student, from St. John the Baptist Catholic Elementary School, took that bottle to class. He soon learned, the letter inside was written by a former student [Makenzie Van Eyk, nee Morris], of the same school — more than a quarter of a century ago, in 1998.
