A 48-year-old Scottish man was walking along a beach and found a message in a bottle, just to discover that it was the second such message to travel across the Atlantic Ocean from the same man in Canada. Andrew Eaton-Lewis posted the message on Facebook trying to see if anyone could help translate it since it was written in French. He updated his post saying:
Someone has translated it for me! Translation is in thread below if anyone is interested. Apparently it's the second time one of his bottles has made it across the UK - the other one landed on a beach in the south of England. I'm going to send a letter to Andre Huet tomorrow, with my email address. Hoping he'll get back to me. The one I found on Facebook hasn't done so yet
The message was signed by Andre Huet of Quebec and dated January 26th, 2020. "I'm going to send a letter to Andre Huet tomorrow, with my email address," Eaton-Lewis posted on Facebook. "Hoping he'll get back to me." Last year, a woman participating in a beach cleaning event in Portland, England, also found a bottle on the beach containing a note in French from Huet. Here is the translation:
ENGLISH

[...] that someone finds it [...]

Thank you
