After 12 years of looking I have finally found a message in a bottle. This afternoon we were out in the vehicle on George Island looking at the tussac that has been planted this winter and the Yorkshire fog that was planted last spring when we noticed two plastic bottles tied together. Despite suffering from sore knees at the moment I was first out of the vehicle as I could see there was a message inside. It was a bit dissappointing to find that the bottle only contained a name Boris Alejandro Valencia .B., Chilote a hotmail address and the words Carrero G/P II. It would have been nice if it had had an actual message. Never mind I have sent off to the hotmail address and we are now waiting to see if we get a reply.
My husband and I live and farm a remote and isolated group of islands in the Falkland Islands. We use a 36 foot steel fishing boat to move between islands. Our lifestyle is pretty much self sufficient. We have a wind turbine for power our own veg gardens and 5,000 sheep that we farm for fine wool and fat lamb.
