MANY bottled messages covered in this column before have taken years to return to shore, however one recently uncovered in Portugal had taken only six years to wash up.

Written in Florida by a Canadian couple six years ago, the message encouraged the finder to make contact, with a financial reward.

By the judgement of some, it may be far less impressive than a message in a bottle found from 1987 which recently surfaced.
