QuoteIt would be interesting to know if it tooks days, months or years.

It was put in the sea on Christmas Day 2007, by my estimation it took about 14 weeks +/- a couple of weeks to travel the 3500 miles "as the crow flies" or about 1.5 mph!!  ::)

I would imagine it has probably travelled a fair bit more than the most direct route though. The plastic coke bottle was weighed down with a small stone, it would be a combination of current and wind that bought it to our shores.

Our prevaling winds are south westerly and New York is roughly south west of us. Not sure about the currents though?

Big decision is who should play the lead role........... George Clooney? Tom Cruise? Shrek? ;) :D

Most people are a little taller aren't they!!??  ;) :D

Given I am  6 foot 6 inches tall maybe Tom C isn't such a good idea!  ;D  Looks like WCK is in the frame now in any case.  ;)
