Have disabled this one. Not happy with the cache size or location. Looking at moving a bit further along but still using the amazing scenery.

Found on a run to check on my newly adopted caches.

Forgot to log this one. Good first find of the day whilst checking out D-Bay

Had to wait a while for some muggle picnickers to leave the adjacent table before we could grab this cache. Took nothing, left a US Quarter Dollar. TFTC.

Muggles, fisher muggles and only a quick walk by look for me today.

Tide was out so we were in no danger of being sprayed. Cache was lying on the ground totally exposed. We rehid it in what we thought was a logical place. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Had a fishing muggle being nosy, pulled out the camera and he soon looked elsewhere.

Thanks for the grovel Wink

Found on 2nd attempt. First time, too many mugles around.
Had place to my self today. Maybe because it was low tide.

No muggles near GZ today and I parked the car to block the view of other muggles further down. Found some car batteries sitting near GZ. Found the cache at 0935hrs.

This one tested our stealth skill to the max. Quite a few muggles around, but luckily, they were all preoccupied with their tackle. Not sure if the cache is still in its original hiding spot, but found it without too much difficulty.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 12:35pm. This is the 3rd time I have been here and the first time I've been able to get anywhere near GZ. There were some fishing muggles but they were too busy. TNLNSL TFTC

too many people, will return

GZ was swarming with Muggles when I arrived. They were lined up with fishing rods and drinks and looked like they were in for the long haul. A bit of a photography ruse was used and luckily the cache was in the very first place I checked so managed to do the biz without any problems. TFTH Smile

Found it in the dark. A few muggles in the area too. However, we put on our best 'just-looking-for-something-we lost' impersonation and they were none the wiser...TFTC.

Found eventually after dark. There were a few muggles nearby, one waiting for something in his car. Called the Rastas hotline, and found quickly then. TFTC

Dropped in to grab this one before the Dawn Service. I must come back in daylight one time. TFTC SL

Didn't really get a chance to look for this one as it was muggle mania just before 7am. I had an elderly gent stop just as I found GZ. He got out of his car walked around in circles with his dog then got back into the car with the dog. He knew everyone around as they all stopped to chat right at GZ. After 15 minutes I left.

As I left I quickly placed my hand into a spot where I thought the cache may be but it was empty. I'll be back at a quieter time if there is such a thing.

After second attempt due to muggles within the area on the weekend we found it quite easily. TFTC

Happened to be not too far away, so dropped in to visit the cache. The tide was up, but not enough "oomph" to get any spray going.
 
05-Dec-07
Filling in time before work today and I found myself heading past the ufo crash site and into D-Bay Smile
I joined the lunchtime crowd and began my search. Lucky for me, I located a likely spot and could sit down in the shade and grab the cache, fill in the logbook and rehide it Big Grin

Swung by this cache a few hours before GeoPilots found the cache only to find fisherman set in for the evening and muggles setting up for a picnic at the nearest table. Easy find today as the tide was out. TFTC

FTF! Saw the listing for this new cache so went for a ride to the site. High tide and a breeze almost made it live up to it's name but we stayed dry. Had to wait a while for the area to be clear of mugglers but the fishers weren't interested. It was dark before we found it. Took the scratchy but left nothing because we had nothing small enough to fit in.
