Everything went off like a dream. Ten messages in bottles launched into Lake Macquarie near the Swansea Channel. I had my supporters around me - Ann Maree, Danuta and new friend Michelle and the delightful Kitty the Newcastle Herald photographer who took great pains to get some good shots. The local fisherman were amused, the weather was beautiful and the tide had turned - all good omens for a successful "bottle/book" launch.
Here are a few pics from yesterday.

A very fun day. If anyone would like to get involved you can contact me and I can personalise a flyer for you to drop into your local ocean!

I've just heard from a goodreads member that one of my bottles has been found on Stockton Beach which is exciting. It must have got caught up in the local current and washed ashore there before hitting the main ocean current.
Here I am at Swansea:

I do hope one or two of these get picked up.
I was very careful with both lots of releases, making sure I caught the outgoing tide but I have still received an angry email accusing me of being a litter bug. To my way of thinking a glass bottle with a message inside is something that most people will pick up -not so for a lot of the stuff, large ships and fishing boats throw over the side.
Oh well, you can't please everyone!
