Africa-Press-Ethiopia A beachcomber on a British Channel island found a message in a bottle that turned out to have been launched off the Florida coast nearly two years earlier.<\/p>\n

Richard Lord said\u00a0he was cleaning trash from\u00a0Chouet Beach on the island of Guernsey after a recent storm when he spotted a bottle with a visible $1 bill inside.<\/p>\n

Lord cleaned the barnacles off the bottle and removed the cork, but said he eventually had to smash the bottle to free the sheet of paper inside.<\/p>\n

The paper, which bore the letterhead for Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, featured a handwritten message saying the bottle had been launched Jan. 4, 2020, from a location about 75 miles southeast of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.<\/p>\n

A business card inside the bottle identified the sender as retired U.S. Navy Capt. Dave Mozgala.<\/p>\n

Another message in a bottle launched from Florida\u00a0was recently found after a\u00a06-year journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Lisa Dzierzak-Vieira said she and her husband, Marco, were on a Porto Santo beach when they found a message in a bottle launched by Canadian tourist Brigitte Doerksen during a trip to Miami in February 2015.<\/p>\n
