Why is it that messages in bottles tend to drift towards shores as opposed to stay in the middle of an ocean?

I’m assuming they tend to drift towards shores because people find those messages, but I don’t know what percentage of messages are never found because they’re still drifting in the oceans.

They drift randomly however whenever that random pattern intersects a shore they wash up and their journey ends. It’s not that they tend to drift to shore it’s that they always end on the shore and we only encounter them at the end.
