I sent a message in a bottle.
I sketched a nice picture of the family on one side of the page…
… and on the other side of the page I wrote the message. I brainstormed about what to write in my message. I wrote my Mom’s email address so if anyone finds our message they can contact us. I wrote my age, my name, where I am from and where we dropped the bottle.
We had an empty wine bottle with a cork. We rolled the message up and tied it with a string so it could fit in the bottle.
We put the cork in so the message didn’t get wet.
I wore my life jacket with a safety harness when I was throwing the bottle overboard so I didn’t fall off the boat.
I threw it into the Caribbean Sea between Statia (St. Eustatius) and St. Barth’s (St. Barthelemy). We watched it go and I hope someone will find it someday.
