It took almost 13 years and over 2,000 miles for a message by a couple in Canada to reach its destination. In September 2012, Brad and Anita went on a day trip to Bell Island in Newfoundland; they wrote a message and put it in a bottle and despatched it into the Atlantic Ocean. The bottle was found by Kate Gay on Scraggane Bay, Maharees. Jerry spoke to Kay and another member of Creative Ireland Neart na Macharaí, Martha Farrell. The interview prompted Vera to get in touch with her own message in a bottle story.
