The Agulhas P-mav release


Releasing a P-mav (Perpetual motion advertising vehicle) into the sea off Cape Agulhas. With a message and vital treasure clues -  Cape Agulhas Africa's southern most tip and where 2 oceans meet in a roar of surf and wild, wild wind. In order to justify this bottle release myself and my son combed the beach first for 2 washed up bottles, before putting this one back behind the surf. Take out 2 add 1 for all those who will definetely moan about releasing a message in a bottle. Because buzz killing is actually a real human condition. Just ask Sigmund Freud.  I have decided to use a Jack Daniels bottle as my release P-mav vehicle of choice. Because its possibly one of the greatest excuses to sip through a bottle of Jack. As it is really for advertising purposes and very important my own personal tidal research - On this day the wind was very wild and the ocean storm ridden, the foam and waves crashing off the rocks was incredible. My son who really enjoys the strange antics of his dad - with great importance threw the soon to be flotsam as far as he could Into the ocean. We watched and saw a rip tide headingnout to sea. We watched like 2 old sea dog captains, as our little bottle rode the wild rip currents sweeping out to sea. So if you find this p-mav or any others - Let us know its journey , time and place - its all in the bottle - There just might be a full or not so full by then bottle of ol Jack waiting for you at the other side of an email. Well thats if you manage to find your way to my email address and have the treasure map in hand. Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rum , ya scurvy dogs , to the yardarm, blistering blue barnacles and shiver me timbers. These are the words we where gruffing out whilst sending the ol bottle off the plank.

With all this virtual nonsense bombarding us all nowdays. Doing life in the real with ones kids is so much more exciting. Time slows down and interaction is so much more invigorating. So go be marooned on an island with a bottle of Jack and send messages to the beyond.
