August 28, 2014
He found a message in a bottle while fishing at Francis Beach, California.
The bottle washed up on shore.
It wasn't easy to open.
He used a cork screw on his multi-tool.
Inside it contained this rolled up letter.
It was laminated and sealed with tape.
"My name is Mel, I have 3 beautiful kids and a beautiful wife of almost 54 years when I passed. I love the ocean, deep sea fishing, abalone hunting with my 2 sons and visiting the tide pools with the whole family. Today my family is laying me to rest in a place that I love... the ocean. So this starts my journey... If you find this message in a bottle please go to my Facebook page ___ post a pic of yourself and where you found me an send me back on my journey. Thanks and God bless, Mel's family."
He resealed the bottle...
And sent Mel back on his journey.
Goodbye, Mel.
