Based on an earlier chat with Maddison, it appears that this is indeed the right track.

The hubby's not having any luck either. Shocked

He said it's probably sitting there staring at him but he's not seeing it.

Maybe it's referring to 'sea' as in lots of things?

Like a sea of faces or something?

You know so words like abundance, multitude etc....

...maybe? Confused

Maybe she meant "homonym" instead of "synonym," as in "see"?

("Oh Say can you Say/See"...okay just grasping at straws.)

He's still working on it.

Although I've no idea why at this point.

Solution to Code

Foutain Town - Stormy Venue - No Post No Bills - 8404? Hurry

Vigenere AutoKey: http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/vigenere-autokey.php
Decrypt.
Passphrase: "NaclH2o"
Your Message: "Sowehws Hipn - Aghfil Nxblq - Lj Tbmx Ac Qwdef - 8404← Vvzcj"

We've been poking at this all day, literally. Several of us determined early that since codes need keys, and this code came with two vials, the vials must be the key. Maddison's intuition confirmed this thought later in chat. Therefore, the collective chat group plus Maddison developed lists of synonyms. Maddison specifically wanted us to focus on compounds of the synonyms.

We were running them through VigNormal, VigAutoKey, Keyed Vig, and Keyed Caesar.

"salt, water, salt water, finney, wine, winery, fish, seuss, fresh, ocean, h20, nacl, red sea, sodium, agua, sal, river, saline, gulf, gulf ocean, ocean gulf, salt wave, gulf sea, river water, river salt, salt river, salt sea, sea salt, saltwater fish, saltwater ocean, saltwater sea, sal agua, agua de sal, mar de sal, fish salt, aquarium, bottled salt water, evaporation, oxygen, hydrogen, hydrogen oxygen, hydrogen oxygen sodium, salt water wine, finney fish, fresh saltwater fish, hydrogen oxygen nacl, agua salada, naclh20, hydrogren oxygen sodium chloride, sodium chloride, fried fish, microphone, spice, flavor,"

We were consistently very close, but always falling just this short. Finally, Maddison had the idea of specifically having us run through a few of the synonyms from the list (h2onacl, and naclh2o) through the codebreakers. I realized I had been typing h20 (zero) rather than h2o. Problem solved.

Maddison's intuition and persistence saved our sanity! Mr. Zipp was clearly correct in thinking she's of value in this struggle. Wink

The result is:
Foutain Town - Stormy Venue - No Post No Bills - 8404? Hurry
