M.I.B.

Hallo,

I'm M.I.B. (Message In Bottle).

If you ever find me please bring me to the VT-staff, because I am an important message.

If you are not in a position to hand me over, please seal the message in a bottle and bring me back to my beloved waves. Please take a picture of me and add it to this page at the proper location (for password mail to pieter_jan_v@virtualtourist.com).

Thanks in advance.

I'M LAUNCHED!!!

My initial route

Hallo everybody. Today, February 25 2003 I was launched into the Northsea. My initial route will be determined by the tidal currents from the Waddenzee, the Easterly winds and unpredictable sprout winds from the UK; no I meant the Gulf stream).

I will be pushed from the warm shore waters (green coloured) into the colder waters of Scotland. I guess I have to study daarth's travelogues; maybe I make it in time for his upcoming birthday party.

If you want more launch details, look at my Den Helder travelogues.

And remember, when you find me, please add this happening to my pages.

Oooops!

I see a triangle at the horizon ..............................................

I''m getting cold and what is that white thing at the horizon! Oh, no!

ONE YEAR

Message in a Bottle

Sunday, February 22, 2004

It's my first birthday! I wish you all could join me at my continous cruise over the oceans. Celebrating Carnival, my birthday and loosing my VT Rookie status on one day!
I will have a lonely floating party.

M.I.B.

PS BBC2 is airing a special tonight on the TV: MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE!

Hope!

Found? No, it's my brother.

For a moment I thought I was found.

Taken from: Eddy Mama's weblog

One of the highlights of our book club's trip to Amelia Island last weekend was the discovery of, yes, a message in a bottle, on the storm-tossed beach in the wake of Tropical Storm Tammy.

My friend B found the bottle, bouncing in the surf, which was littered with debris from the storm. A Hefty ziplock bag, protecting a tantalizingly folded piece of paper, showed through the bottle's green glass.

As a group, we decided to live, for a few hours, with the mysterious presence of the bottle. Unfortunately, the barnacles adhering to it made it a rather pungent guest, so the bottle was banished to the porch.

Before opening it, we decided make some guesses as to what its contents might be. A few of our supppositions were:

1. A cry for help from a woman who witnessed a crime (probably drug-related) and was subsequently kidnapped and being held captive on a yacht.

2. A woman stranded on a desert island, anxious about her lack of internet service, asking if the bottle's discoverer would please post the enclosed message on her blog (this was not my guess, though I inspired it).

3. A homeschooling assignment.

4. A scorned female, who, in her moment of rejection, drank the bottle of wine, then enclosed a letter to her former lover with a lock of her hair, which she had shorn in her grief.

5. A man, in love with a woman he can't have. As he can't tell her or anyone else how he feels, he releases his passion in a love note, then consigns it to the sea.

6. A confession that cannot be told.

7. The numbers to a Swiss bank account.
