It took exactly 1,500 days, but on Friday morning, the message sender and the bottle finder finally found each other.
Bolger and his family found Byrne's message in a bottle last week, clearing garbage from the beach near 14th Street in Wildwood.
It reads: "Greetings from Ireland. I have thrown this bottle into the sea for someone to find another day. Maybe it's traveled down to Africa or to Iceland! I won't know if someone found this, but I hope it is found!"Bolger was dying to know why she wrote the message in the first place.Aiofe Byrne"I emailed her back and said, 'Can you send me some pictures and some writing samples?'"Byrne sent it to sea in Ireland on July 17, 2019.
"It's one of the most Irish parts of Wildwood, North Wildwood, which is heavily Irish American," Bolger laughs, noting the irony."Almost every station in Ireland is running it or called us," he says."I was shaking," Bolger says. "I couldn't believe it. I never thought we would find her." A movie ending to the now-famous message in a bottle that traveled all the way from Ireland's Emerald shores to our Jersey shore, captivating the world along the way.
"The world is searching for something good," Bolger says, when asked why he thinks everyone was so invested in this story.Bolger says when it's time to take a trip to Ireland, they already have a place to stay, with Byrne, and her father, Martin.

The Octopus Garden is the largest known aggregation of octopus on the planet -- the size of this nursery, and the abundance of other marine life that thrives in this rich community, highlight the need to understand and protect the hotspots of life on the deep seafloor from threats like climate change and seabed mining.
