A message in a bottle from a Greek sailor, which was released into the ocean more than a year ago, was found washed up on Ninety Mile beach in New Zealand last week after having traveled hundreds of miles.
Ken Ferguson, a local fisherman, picked up the bottle in order to avoid it breaking into shards and hurting someone — and was astonished to find a message inside it.
