Remember that consignment of plastic ducks that fell off a cargo ship 15 years ago...?

Plastic duck armada is heading for Britain after 15-year global voyage

Some of the ducks, known as Friendly Floatees, are expected to reach Britain after a journey of nearly 17,000 miles, having crossed the Arctic Ocean frozen into pack ice, bobbed the length of Greenland and been carried down the eastern seaboard of the United States.

Incredible to think that they have survived for all this time :D
 
Madness! Fancy tracking them for 15 years!
Any beachcomber who finds one of the ducks will be able to claim a $100 (£50) reward from the toys’ American distributor, First Years Inc.

what's that quote...?

I remember "Fly... be free.... " ( 'splat' )

Although in this case it would be swim obviously... :lol:
 
What a nice story.

I think the coastguards must have their eye on the £50 reward though.

Nobody fall in the sea for a couple of months ok... ;):D
