Churs told an interesting story about a letter in a bottle. Here is the letter:





2.Vnutri history of writing in a bottle and a description of the events that took place in parallel.

My grandfather was in December '79 went on a cruise on the ship "Lenin". Below is a scan of the booklet. Route, as you can see, at the equator handle fixed.
On why the same ship deviated from the planned route, I will write later. Yet go back to pismmu.



3.Gulyaet, then grandfather deck, drinks juice from a bottle. Said at the time on the deck was not a soul (which is a bit unusual). Finished, looked at the bottle. Rinsed it, wrote a letter asking to send a response to the time and place of receipt of the bottle (see. The title picture), put an envelope with a return address. He threw it into the ocean (or rather, the Celebes Sea) crossing the equator. On the map is the intersection of a line drawn with a ballpoint pen, and the equator.

Sending a letter, went to read his poems rest of the tourists:



4.Vernuvshis home already forgotten about the letter in a bottle. But, after almost 3 years, comes the answer!



5.On wrote in response, but the answer did not answer, unfortunately.
In addition, a couple of photos: boat and celebration of Neptune.



...



Furthermore, the events that occurred before throwing overboard bottles, because of what the ship changed course.

These events are described in the book by Yuri Vetohin "Inclined to escapeĀ».
57-58 head just about this flight.
In short: a man fled from the Soviet Union by jumping through the window at night in the ocean. Power driven. Specially went on a cruise for escape. Drifted 40-50 km without aids, on the island for political asylum. And he wrote this book. Read at least a few chapters, grabs!

Grandfather remembers this mysterious man. Says constantly around the pool in a bathrobe tusil if not floated.
After escaping, the morning began kipish. The whole ship ran together to look at the window unbuttoned. Grandfather also did not miss this moment. After 2 boats, and before sunset traveled neighborhood. Found no vest or (of course) of Yuri Alexandrovich. People strongly resented eventually ship continued on his way to a changed route.
