A couple from Portugal found a message in a bottle sent by Canadians from the United States
A message in a bottle sent by a couple of Canadians from the United States overcame 3 in six years. 8 thousand kilometers and was found by a family from Portugal. CBC reports.
In February 2015, Bridgette Dorksen and her husband Warren from the Canadian city of Morris, Manitoba, were vacationing in the American city of Miami, Florida. While on vacation, Warren decided to throw a letter in a bottle into the ocean.
Warren took the bottle of wine left over from the previous evening and the couple headed to the beach. There he asked his wife to write a note and put it in a bottle. In the text of the note, Bridgette asked the person who found the message to contact her. She enclosed a business card and two US dollars with the message. The woman put all of the above in a bottle and the couple threw it into the sea. Husband and wife watched the message until it disappeared from view.
Since then, the bottle has crossed the Atlantic Ocean and ended up on the coast of the island of Porto Santo in Portugal. There she was found by Liza Dzirzak-Vieira and her husband Marko while walking along the beach with their daughter and dog. The woman filmed how they opened the bottle and found a note inside. She then sent an email to the email address indicated in the message.
Dorksen saw the message when she checked her mail on her mobile phone in the morning. The subject line read “Bridgette & Warren Message in a Bottle.” At first she did not even understand what they were talking about, and then she remembered the message they had thrown into the sea. The Canadian screamed in surprise and then told her husband about the letter. “We were overcome by emotions. We were happy, and we had tears in our eyes. It was incredible, “- said the Canadian.
Dzirzak-Vieira believes that they were destined to find the bottle. “Everything in life does not happen by accident. Maybe one day we will meet them and they will become our best friends, ”she said. Dorksen and her husband hope to travel to Portugal one day to visit the place where their message was found, and possibly meet the people who discovered it.
Previously, a resident of the American state of Texas while hunting in Alaska found a message in a bottle thrown into the sea 44 years ago and tracked down the sender. The message turned out to be a simple memory from the boy's life.
