Boat control (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By doandhopers on 21-Mar-10. Waypoint GC25BBJ

see notes from april and may

Looks like this one has disappear. Will check it out and replace when I get time. Don't forget Wattle. Abit of walk but is handy to this one.

Agggh, despite the many boat people around we managed to subtly look for the cache whilst appearing to engrossed in the on-going race however all we found is a little rusty old magnet attached to where we thought GZ was. Reading the other logs it looks like this could be the cache magnet but despite having a good search around we couldn't see the actual container maybe it's gone for good!!

Couldn't find it. Nothing on where we thought it should be fixed. After reading other logs, just stopped searching and wait till confirmation that the cache is still there

Could not have a good look around, as nearby workers were watching, felt around but did not find it, noticed previous notes about it falling off, hope to return again at another time for a better look.

Out for an afternoon caching with 10centcoin and our friend, beatmeier, introducing him to geocaching. Not the first find of the afternoon, but first new find for me. Pretty quickly located, not too many about this afternoon. TFTC!!!

Out for an afternoon caching trip with FMZ and our new friend, beat.meier. Quick easy find. TFTC!!!

Out for an afternoon geocaching with funkymunkyzone and 10centcoin who introduced me into geocaching. With this one I knew it is necessary to have some experience in finding it.

3385. We are in Auckland for a few days attending a conference so took the opportunity tonight to spend time with friends and do a little caching with them. We continued walking after finding 'Wattle' and soon came to this cache - that we found lying on the ground. We have tried to return it to its resting place.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Found with no problem however it does not want to reattach itself. TFTC

Both the bottom of the container and the magnet (which is loose) are coated with rust. Scraped a lot of it off and were able to get it to attatch OK but it will not last much longer. Too close to the salt water?
Thank you. David and Noeline.

I liked this one thanks. I looked but could not see, felt stumped and then tried again.

Another 2nd attempt - first time muggled out of GZ. Squelched my way over from the other nearby cache. Not quite where I expected it to be but the hint makes a lot of sense now. The log is quite damp. TFTC, Biggles.

Despite driving past this spot at least twice a day, I have finally found a quiet time to knock it off - 6:30am on a Sunday is highly recommended.

A short walk as the gates were locked but at least I had the place to myself.

Fairly easy to find, with the hard part being retrieving / returning it whilst muggles kept arriving to feed the Canadian "visitors".

Log paper was slightly damp. It could do with some warm / dry weather to dry it out a bit.

In the area today so stopped off and luckily noone around except for the geese. Took longer to clean our hands than it did to find the cache T4TC.

Qwik find while working out this way-need to bring wipes to remove bird pooh from hands after retrieving cache-tftc

Nice brisk walk with Mrs TWS in the morning between showers.

TFTC

Lots of geese

First time in a while I've been past, and the car park was empty... Because it was pouring with rain! We took this opportunity, got soaked and found the cache without too much difficulty. TFTC

Nice hide, I like it. Guy parked his truck just in front of GZ and was sitting inside but I managed to retrieve it without him noticing...

Part of an enjoyable walk on a clear winters day. Credit goes to Mrs P for the find. t4tc

Interesting spot very large geese flock stood guard over the cache site

Clever hide alright

No boats on ther lake today but plenty of bird life supervising. TFTC

Managed to get the cache even though quite a few muggles around. Those quackers are messy dudes though. TFTC

Loved finding our first nano. Beautiful park and a great hide. TFTC.

4145 Great hide, easy find once the two legged muggles left and the resident Canadian population was brought under control.

Had to wait a while, plenty of people about TFTC

Quick 'n' easy find, and in a nice little reserve. We've driven past plenty of times before, but never gone in, so it was great to have an excuse to come here! Lots of muggles around GZ today.

Something other than a nano would have been nicer - it's a nice reserve with plenty of scope for a larger cache.

Nice park, some muggles. Waypoint was about 10 meters off for me, may have been due to flat batteries. cunning hide

Two cars in the parking area when we arrived so wandered off to do Wattle first. On our return a few minutes later the area was completely clear. Took a few minutes as the GPSr led us astray.

1994 Nuce quick find, Mrs G had cache in hand before Mr G even started looking. TFTC

Quick find. Probably the closest find to the car yet! Thanks.

Probably our quickest find ever. Had it in hand a few seconds after jumping out of the car. Nice hide though. Thanks.

Arrived at GZ and commenced the search. Spent a few minutes looking around till I found it. Nicely hidden. Hope the magnet is strong enough. Noted Godfreyh had found this cache before it was published? Does this mean the FTF is still up for grabs? Logged yesterday but cache only published on the 23rd? Assume Godfreyh was with you when this one was placed [?]

Had to do a sort of a "look under my car" decoy.
Nice hide.
No water for the boats today.

Obviously a gathering place for suspicious activity at night, wonder what the Armourguard guy was up to? We had to go away and return. Quick easy find once the crowd had gone.
Only the geese were watching us. TFTC.
