2 years ago, when I was a high school student, I put a letter in a bottle, sealed it up, and dropped it in the Bay of Bengal, off the Sundarban coast. It was kind of an experiment. In the letter, I appealed to whomever came across the bottle to contact me and let me know where in the world it showed up. Amazingly, someone did.
About 27 or 28 months after the bottle was dropped, I heard from someone (a marine science teacher) in Manakara, Madagascar. The letter had made its way across the Indian Ocean and washed up on the shores of the Manakara, found by a 17-year-old and his Dad while out for a stroll. I never expected the message to be found.
