Dear Kaisa and Christoffer
What a delightful surprise to find your message in a bottle! I found it on Wednesday in a small wooden boat on the fjord shoreline in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. It is very appropriate as I feel like a castaway myself! My husband and I were here visiting our son when we became unable to get home to England! We have been here a number of weeks and actually consider ourselves very lucky to be here and not in England at present, and to have more time with our son than we have had for years.
Your account is very nice and if I were much younger would have loved such an expedition! We have a friend who is a sea kayaker and I will send it to him, as I know he will enjoy it, and he was very taken with what he saw of your illustrations in a photo I sent him. Many hours must have gone into your project and it has certainly brought some added interest and entertainment at a very strange time in the history of our planet.
Thank you!
