IMG_7924Message said : To who finds this. My name is Josh and I am eleven. Please write back (address included, and was to a local business in Gloucester).

The bottle survived a 3 week journey in the ocean and 3 day journey on land, before I opened it.

I called the company today and I am hoping to return the bottle and message to the boy! 🙂
