Message in a bottle travels from ‘frinking’ trip in Florida to West Cork beach

A message in a bottle, sent from Florida in the US, arrived on a sandy west Cork beach last week, almost exactly one year after it left the Sunshine State’s shores.

Three west Cork women found the bottle, while walking on the beach at Long Strand, outside Clonakilty, Co. Cork , and they managed to track down the letter's author in the US.
