"Thank you so much for a lovely sail last week. The
Eclipse is gorgeous, the food was delicious, the
service and conversation was lively and gracious. I’m
happy to say that when I asked all of the children
about their vacation in Newport, every one of them
said sailing was their favorite part (even the 4-year-
old!) I think we adults agreed!
We will certainly be calling again next summer—and
have already raved about you to many folks who
frequent Aquidneck Island. Thank you for a lovely
time!" AT, Aug 2011

We found your bottle on the beach between Montalivet and Le Gurp in France. Our position was 45°24'58"N, 1°8'28"W in the departement Gironde. We spent our Christmas holidays and we were very keen to find your bottle. The message was very difficult to read, because water moved inside. So we hope we have the right e-mail address! We are a German family from Munich. Best regards, Johannes, Dagmar, Evelyn, Lisa |
It is amazing to learn that our message traveled securely in a
corked wine bottle for 18 months, for a distance of 3000
nautical miles (almost 3500 miles) East across the Atlantic
Ocean, past the Sables d'Olonne Canyon, into the Bay of
Biscay to rest along the Aquitaine Shelf in the Montalivet
region of France.
