In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean,preparing for the worst,adventurer Peter Seiter wrote a farewell note to his family,put it in a wine bottle and threw it overboard. With a sense of bad feeling he wrote, " The ocean has a personality of its own. The place can be such a peaceful en?vironment to be in,yet it can be frightfully violent. I've experienced both."
"I included my geographical coordinates (地理坐标) so if anything happened to me,they'd know my last place when I threw the bottle into the ocean”，says Peter. He also included some money with his message,asking whoever found it to use the money to post the letter to his family.
Seventeen days later he reached his destination,having survived the dangerous seas. But he never thought that his message in a bottle could be found on shore,11 years later！
Recently,American woman Katherine and a friend came across the bottle on a deserted beach in the Bahamas. Alongside it they found a life jacket. Assuming the worst,they broke the bottle open and spent 24 hours drying it out so they could read an adventurer's story and write to his family like he had requested.
"I couldn't believe it―that after all these years my bottle turned up with its contents still undamaged," Peter said. Overjoyed,he wrote to the pair,saying he was alive and living in Australia with his wife and kids.
Katherine posted him his letter,money and some broken glass from his bottle,placed in a tiny box as a special souvenir.
