A message in a bottle.

I’ve always dreamed of setting a message in a bottle afloat in the deep blue ocean (seems so romantic). I never did get around to it, but a young man from Massachusetts did. He was 10 years old when he tossed his letter bearing bottle into the Atlantic Ocean, and 9 years later he has received a reply.

Max Vredenburgh, now 19, wrote: “I’m 10 years old. I like apples, I like the beach. My favorite color is blue. I like animals. I like cars and I like outer space. Please write back.”

Max said he received a reply to his message in the form of regular old snail mail (almost as unheard of as a message sent in a bottle) from a French citizen named G. Dubois, who found the bottle on a beach in France. Max said he is hoping to learn more about his new pen pal.

I’ll send an SOS to the world
I’ll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle yeah
