0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A simple childhood experiment turned into something out of a storybook after a message in a bottle traveled more than four thousand miles across the Atlantic. Amy and her ten year old son Lorenzo tossed a message in a bottle from their hometown and Fort Old Bay. Amy said, when we first threw it in, we were excited to imagine what might become of the bottle and where would go. In my adult mind, I knew it was highly unlikely to be found. Lorenzo the boy, included a few details on the note, including their What's app numbers, the date, and their location. They had it out on a jet ski and threw the bottle into the ocean. They forgot about it. A year later, it showed up in Portugal. Maria, the schoolteacher, was walking her dog. It seems everybody finds these things while walking dogs. At first, she assumed it must be local because it said twenty twenty five. It was so new I thought it was from the area. But then she realized how far it had traveled. It was from the Bahamas and a year had passed. Maria called the number. Back in the Bahamas, Amy was getting ready for her bed. The phone lit up with a call from Portugal. She ignored it, but then a message came through with a photo. It was somebody saying I got your bottle. She recognized Lorenzo's handwriting in the photo. She shouted upstairs at the boy, someone found our bottle. It had been so long. He didn't know what she was talking about. Amy said, I started to communicate with Maria, and she sent voice notes and videos, and very quickly I realized this woman was kind and lovely.
