We are now in day 12 of our 14 day quarantine at home in Calgary after our return from Europe. To help pass the time, we’ve been busy updating our Chinook website with our adventures.
We posted our Tunisia blog today where it mentions the heavy winds and waves on the second day and night of our passage and the difficulty we had avoiding the fishing pots around Cap Bon during the bad weather. We lost a fender (in its Chinook sock) off the stern during this rough weather however this was not mentioned in our blog.
We received an email tonight from someone in Libya who was navigating through facebook and found a post about a fender that belonged to a foreign boat which had washed up on the western shores of Libya. This person did some research on the internet and found our Tunisia blog and made the connection. Amazing! Not quite like finding a message in a bottle, but close.
Below is the facebook page with pictures. Our fender (still in it’s sock) is in great shape after its long trek and it looks like she has found a home. Ha! the fender even has 188 likes so far.
