Oceangram
Just a bit of fun (I like the animation of the sea)
I have spent a little bit of time on this...you have to be patient waiting for a message back.
I tracked some of my messages, you just need to add your email to the bottom of the scroll if you want to track it.
You never know, you might pick up a message from me x
" What is Oceangram Message in a Bottle?
Oceangram® message in a bottle is the internet version of sending a message in a bottle, you write the message, seal it in a bottle, and send it off into the ocean. Someone from around the world may pick it up from the ocean and read it.
Who uses Oceangram Message in a Bottle?
Since this site was launched in May of 2006, people have been sending and receiving messages from all over the world. As of January 2009, over 5 million messages have been delivered.

It is easy. To send a message, click the bottles on the sand, a paper scroll will appear for you to write your message on. Type your message, click the "Send" bottle and watch your bottle float away. That's all there is to it.

Lol, sorry Pepper, it is a bit addictive.
Best to keep it open in another window, so you can do other things, then keep checking the bottles

I lived in Gibraltar for a couple of years and you would have loved where I lived. You could see the lighthouse from my balcony.
