message in a bottle on ocracoke

A Beachcombing treasure washes up on Ocracoke beach

The message in a bottle that Roy and Ann Huntley found on an Ocracoke beach wasn’t an SOS, but it was still pretty cool. Connie Leinbach writing for the Ocracoke Observer has the story.

“Flotsam bottles containing messages are one of those treasures that beachcombers dream of finding.

Roy and Ann Huntley of Raleigh, who have a house on Ocracoke and visit frequently, got a longtime wish when they found such a bottle on the beach last November.

“I mean, I was pretty excited,” Roy said. “I never found a message in a bottle before. It had a big ole piece of paper in it and I got pretty excited that we were gonna rescue somebody somewhere.”
