NYC artist's message in a bottle washes up in France

NEW YORK (FOX 5 NEWS) - George Boorujy is an artist and he has a message. He put that message into a bottle. The drawings are all of oceanic birds. He calls it the Palegic Project. It's in addition to his regular work on display in the PPOW gallery in the city.

He has thrown nearly 20 bottles into the Atlantic. He got an email about a bottle he tossed 2 years ago from Staten Island.

It had crossed the Atlantic -- 3,500 miles -- bobbing through the rain, the sizzling sun and all the way to a beach in France.

A couple found it and contacted him.
