A mummified adventurer found floating aboard a ghost yacht had penned a tragic final message to his dead wife.

Manfred Fritz Bajorat, 59, was found by two fishermen at the weekend off the coast of the Philippines

I've seen a few mummified sailors during my years of boating but they always seemed to make it to work on Monday.

At least now his family will have some closure. He is no longer lost at sea & missing.

The souls on board the Mary Celeste were missing & never accounted for.

Did he write it with invisible ink?

It all depends on the embalming fluid you use, I think.

Gods, Graves, Glyphs?

Was the last line of the note “Salty Dog, a seaman’s log, your witness, my own hand”?

True. She was actually found completely abandoned. One of the great maritime mysteries.

I thought the Natalie wood death was the biggest mystery?

Damn, that’s sad... passing alone while writing a note to his deceased wife...

RIP.

Cover-up maybe. Mystery? No.

Heart attack would be my bet.

Was that the Mary Celeste, or, the more mysterious Marie Celeste (from the Conan Doyle short Story)
