Biker Bob’s Posthumous Adventure

Synopsis

When Bethany and Caleb Harding were walking along China Beach on Vancouver Island in 2016, the last thing they expected to find was a message in a bottle. It said, “Biker Bob. If you find me, turn me loose.”

Also in the bottle: Bob’s ashes.

On the back of the message, another note was scribbled in newer ink: “It seems like Bob was the type of guy who enjoyed a drink. I took him out for a beer, you should do the same.”

Throughout 2016, the bottle washed ashore three times. Each time, a different person took Bob out for for a celebratory pint, then tossed him back to sea.

But who was Biker Bob? And how did he end up travelling the West Coast in a bottle?

Biker Bob’s Posthumous Adventure follows the bizarre mystery of Biker Bob and his afterlife visits across Vancouver Island. It’s a truly remarkable story, with twists and turns – about a man on a motorcycle, a group of strangers who became friends and the enduring power of love.
