We've all thought about or sent a message in a bottle, most likely to no avail. Well, one message in a bottle has finally found its mark.
Anne O'Sullivan sent a message in a bottle posing a pondering question 'Is it better to love or be loved?' Her bottle was found by South African Fiona Marlton while on holiday and the pair instantly became friends.
Anne O'Sullivan, from Australia, was travelling on a cruise ship off the Indonesian island of Komodo in March 2009 when she tossed the bottle overboard.
"We're sitting in our balcony pondering. Is it better to love or be loved? Your answer will be appreciated. Call us or write to us," the message read.
A year later, the bottle was found more than 8,000km away in shallow waters off Mozambique on Africa's east coast by Fiona.
15 months after throwing the bottle into the sea, Mrs O'Sullivan received a surprise phone call.
"I found your bottle. It's better to be loved. But to be loved you must love," Mrs Marlton said.
The pair, who are now good friends, have exchanged a number of emails about life and love.
