The ocean beckons,
what shall we do today?
I know what we can do,
let’s throw a pretty bottle in to the sea.
Oh yes, it’s always nice to send one out.
It needs a note, of course,
we’ll write it together;
a moment later, it was done.
We just need to bung the cork back,
and off it goes.

This image shows a set of steps leading to a structure on a beach with multiple directional arrows pointing in different directions. Some of the names written on these arrows are Hogwarts, London, New York, Saas Fee, Dubai, Area 51, Bangkok, etc. In the background, you can see the ocean waves and sand.

I’m really intrigued by the message in that bottle—it feels like there’s more to it than just a simple SOS! 😁😅🤗

Something very mysterious about a message in a bottle, … if there’s enough info, it could lead to all sorts of things Chris, … or could just be the highlight of someone’s day, …love it, and the idea,… sending ‘White Rabbits’ greeting for the first of the month, …🐇💙🐇

I read somewhere that those message in a bottle were a big thing years ago, way before it was/ it is considered litter. I have read stories of how a student finally got confirmation of their message close to 40-50 years after it was found. That one must have been tossed in an ocean!
