Contact details inside have connected the Awanui community with a Greek seafarer who has never been to New Zealand.
At first fisherman Ken Fergusson thought the wine bottle was just another piece of litter when he found it last week.

So I stopped and picked it up and threw it on the back of my truck, got home, went to throw it in the rubbish and I noticed there was a card in it.
