lost and found and lost and found again.
On February 14, the company published a call for help on social media, saying they were struggling to get in touch with Francois. The Dominica-born sailor made headlines after he spent 24 days adrift in the Caribbean Sea in January. After being rescued by the Colombian navy, Francois, 47, told officials that he had survived off of a bottle of ketchup, garlic powder, and Maggi stock cubes, which he mixed with water. Ketchup helped him survive weeks lost at sea.
Heinz told CNN on Monday that they found Francois with the help of local reporters in Dominica working for the publication EmoNews. The company had previously said that they hoped to gift him “a new, state-of-the-art boat” to celebrate his safe return. “We were able to connect with him and discuss the best way help support him and his family,” a Heinz representative told CNN. “We (Heinz) and Elvis are currently working out the logistical details of gifting him his new boat.”
The company emphasized the central role social media played in helping locate the sailor. “Anyone who shared, liked or commented on the brand’s post helped broaden the reach and played an important part in finding Elvis,” said Heinz.
Francois was repairing his boat off the island of Saint Martin in December when his boat was pulled out to sea. He told Colombian authorities that he lacked the navigational knowledge to return to shore and spent 24 days lost at sea. He was rescued after a plane spotted his sailboat with “help” engraved into the hull, according to Colombian authorities.

the lost and found is lost.
today
when the kinders found things out of place
they went to put them in our class lost and found
but discovered it was missing.
the class then set out to find the lost and found
that was lost
until someone found it
and proudly put it back in place
then the mini wooden zebra, the blue rubber spider, and the green magna-tile
found a place to wait until we can find where they belong.
“first up, the lost and found has gone missing.
it itself, is lost.
so please try not to lose anything until we find it.”

falling through the cracks.
had a great breakfast with family
who returned a file of family history papers
that had traveled on a journey with them
across the seas
i was happy to see them again
had the papers in my hand for all of 1 minute
as i set them down next to me
for safekeeping
they fell into a hidden crack
just kept going deeper into the abyss
until they were gone
a very kind manager
without judgement
without questions
with a good sense of humor
offered to assist
by moving chairs
pulling the whole table out
taking the booth apart
and retrieving the precious files
intact and none the worse for wear
the family journey continues
with just a short detour.
“cracks especially. you have to be careful of the cracks.
sometimes they are disguised as something else.
a doorway, or a smile or even a winking eye.
and if you fall through them, you never know were you will end up.”
