Message in a bottle
I was fishing on Saturday night from the surf and found the attached message washed up on a rocky point... Anyone ever find anything like this? Should I write back
For the record I was in RI many many miles away from where this originated from.

Why not? Nothing says you have to put your return address on the envelope

I found one on Cutty in '04. It was a school project from some kids on MV according to the letter. I sent all the info back via email but never got a response.

interesting writing style
part almost cursive and part printing...
my point being that the art of cursive writing
is a disappearing art form and is now only
taught up to 3rd grade.
Modern writing via keyboards ,,,keypads
is taking over.

I found one
but it was a joke or something.
Said, "I still like penis." - and some girl's name. And nothing more.

Years ago we found a message in Fairfield, Ct. The next day a buddy was going to Calif. for work. He wrote the kid a letter saying he found it in Calif. and mailed the letter from Calif. the next day.
