Croatia - 1985 message in bottle

A Canadian man's message in a bottle honoring his promise to write to a woman named Mary has finally washed ashore 28 years later in Croatia.

Surfers at the mouth of the Neretva river in the southern Adriatic came across a half-broken bottle with a paper inside, Croatian newspaper Dubrovack Vjesnik said on Wednesday.

A 23-year-old local surfer, who gave her name as Matea, spotted a paper inside, which contained a message from Jonathon in Nova Scotia.

"Mary, you really are a great person. I hope we can keep in correspondence. I said I would write. Your friend always, Jonathon, Nova Scotia, 1985," said the message in the bottle.
