From Cocoa Beach, Florida, To Cape Ferret, France

That's the path a Florida boy's message in a bottle took.

I think that's one of those things that everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. At age 46 I have to confess I've never done it. Just as a matter of practicality, though, I'd advise using a plastic drink bottle rather than a glass bottle with a cork, although the glass would be more traditional.
