A mysterious message from two imaginative and creative young girls has arrived on the island of Vis.
”Dear pirates, this message wishes you good luck in sailing! I just did my homework about a story for Croatian [class] in the third grade of elementary school and have a safe journey on the Adriatic sea!” wrote little Matea from Kastel Novi in her message, which her guardian Danijela, together with another message written by Matea’s sister Mia, packed into a bottle and threw into the sea almost fifteen days ago.
”Hi! Pirates, I’m wishing you a safe journey from Mia from Croatia!” reads Mia’s message to the pirates.
As Morski writes on the 26th of January, 2020, after days, carried by the sea’s currents, the wind and waves, the message in the bottle washed up. On Saturday morning, Matea’s letter to the pirates was discovered on the beautiful island of Vis, found a little ”pirate” – eight-year-old Filip Bozic from Vis.
Eight-year-old Filip, as he shyly explained in a phone interview for the portal of the City of Kastela, saw the bottle when he was playing on the beach and it immediately caught his attention, especially since it was so clogged up that he couldn’t even open it.
”I was curious what was inside, but I couldn’t open it anyway, so I smashed it against a beach stone to see what was inside it. I was very surprised to see the messages inside, which I took home to show my mum when I finished playing,” he said.
Filip’s mum, Ivana Nikolic Bozic, got involved in the story, explaining that she had to drag where the messages to the pirates had come from from her son, who didn’t want to reveal it immediately for fear that he would be yelled at for breaking the glass bottle because he could have cut himself.
Considering the fact that Danijela unfortunately didn’t provide any other details other than that the message to the pirates was sent from Kastel Novi, Ivana has tried to contact Matea and Mia from Vis, but hasn’t had any success as yet.
You could help, too, and let the girls know about young Filip who found the letter and who wants to reply to the girls with a letter of his own but doesn’t know where to send it to from Vis. If you happen to know how Matea and Mia can be found, feel free to contact the editorial office of the aforementioned portal at [email protected] or let the, know via their Facebook page.
