Woman who wrote a 'message in a bottle' in a bid to re-discover the 'beautiful Aquaman lookalike' she met on holiday finds him

A tourist has been reunited with a stranger who reminded her of Aquaman after leaving a heartfelt note asking for him to get in touch at the place they first met.

The woman, who signed the note Pina, bravely left the note two days after the chance encounter, calling for the 6’4, long-haired, well-dressed man to call her.

Speaking to FEMAIL the mum-of-four, who is a Perth-based spiritual healer and interior designer, revealed she was with her children when she met Aquaman and his mum.

The 53-year-old, who goes by Pina Colada online and in writers’ circles said she left the note at the street library in Maroubra, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs because she had nothing to lose.

She explained when they met she was so engrossed in conversation she didn’t think to grab his number.

‘I wrote it compellingly. Couldn’t believe I was writing it, but it felt like some quirky fun – and since I’ve always wanted to send a message in a bottle this was definitely the perfect opportunity; she said.

She couldn’t know that her Aquaman, 29-year-old model and poet Kel Henderson, had also once been obsessed with the ‘message in a bottle idea’.

So when he saw one, of sorts, directed at him after someone photographed the note and put it online, he knew he had to respond.

He told FEMAIL he connected with Pina instantly: ‘My mum and I had such a good chat with her, the kind that you don’t seem to get with strangers anymore these days and after seeing such a beautifully written and thoughtful letter left for me I thought it would be rude not to at least send her a text,’ he said.

Their friendship has gone from strength-to-strength and they are already planning for Kel to head over for a tour of the west coast later this year.
