Float Your Boat 5 Helensvale, Queensland, Australia
By Herbz on 23-Oct-11. Waypoint GC36G61

Today, it was the planned [Sand, Salt, Sun; Seaway Summer](https://coord.info/GC8K0CV) Community Celebration Event, and it was an opportunity to integrate a couple of other Gold Coast kayak adventures. My first stop was at Oxenford for [Gilligan's Island](https://coord.info/GC6YJ8B), and then it was a drive to Jabiru Island for a subsequent kayak launch. It was then a tiring 10.3 km paddle along Coombabah Creek targeting the *Float Your Boat* series. The last kayak stop was Wave Break Island, and a memory lapse had me arrive only towards the event's end, as I had thought it was an all-day gathering.
With the kayak packed away for the day, it was then time to visit a few strategic geocaches in the vicinity, which included a serious tree climb, a tough hide, and a strategic Southport boatshed geocache, before driving towards Sinnamon Park to meet the family. After a water park frolic, we then joined other Geocachers to close out the day at the [Squinterville Christmas Community Celebration](https://coord.info/GC8HK7K) Event.


I set out on this kayak departing from Jabiru Island just after 09:35 hr. As I mentioned, it was a total paddle distance of 10.3 km, with a moving time of 2:25 hr. I was moving with the tide/current heading upstream towards Coombabah Lake, but it was paddling against the incoming tide and winds that really made it a tiring affair, getting back to the island at around 12:00 hr, as per my [Strava record](https://www.strava.com/activities/8233820094). My last geocache of the series was found at 11:00 hr, so yeah, a solid hour paddle back.

During my solo paddle adventure, I docked on this "sandy" island to then make the short walk to GZ. I thought sandy island was a bit of an understatement since the island was knee-high in water, however, it wasn't the muddy dirty kind like other mangrove areas that I had visited, so perhaps there is some truth to that name. This geocache was found reasonably quickly, and I did remark that the tree has almost swallowed the tethered attachment, and it is almost at biting distance of the cache container! I can't help but think that it won't be too long before this container will fall, so it may need a new reset of this tether. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Herbz for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. It was another strategic geocache with the *Boat required* attribute that was needed for the December month challenge.

Loving these high difficulty ratings. Paddled the trusty kayak from Turuna St boat ramp, but after paddling back realised, not only did I only log the date and time without logging name, I missed the last of the series further upstream

Green up in green

Found on my kayak tour.

Thank the heavens. The mud has decided not to attack this time. We had almost forgotten what a normal yak cache felt like. It's actually really fun. But we are still pushing into the wind. It would be awesome if that went elsewhere. Cache is safe and sound. Thank you so much for placing it. Muggle65 is loving the unloved

Gotta love the year’s unloved. Getting out of the yak to wade across the firmer mud flat on this one cache good condition.

It was nice to get some exercise. I had not been on the water in a kayak for some time, so it was a perfect excuse to get some exercise and grab a few caches whilst we were at it. No-one else out today so social distancing was not a problem.

This was out fourth cache for the day.

Find #2917

TFTC ***Herbz***

Nice to get out on the water and do some exercise. Nice paddle to this one, which was third on the list. Very quick find and we didnt get muddy. This area reminded me of Jacob's Well but on a much smaller scale.

Had too find a safe passage in to this one then a easy stroll to cache been there a wile i guess as tree had grown around string tftc Lokky1

After a smash through some chop I pulled up to this one and found the cache exactly as per the hint. A nice little island for a cache! TFTC!

Its been two years since my last trip in this waterway with muggle son and today he decided to bring me back out for an early Mothers Day present. We had a fun filled day with lots of laughs with a beaut picnic lunch on the tinnie and grabbed a few caches in the process. After hiring the boat in Southport, we headed to this cache after finding the previous one and now working our way back out. Got stuck in the mud big time here, son certainly got a huge laugh out of it thought, found quite quickly once at the GZ.

Geohubby had an RDO today and it was my day off. He likes kayaking, I like geocaching, so what better choice for an adventure...we're off to float our boat!

By now Geohubby was starting to get a bit sick of my rousing renditions of the Gilligan's Island theme song and What Shall we do with a Drunken Sailor (Coldplays's Yellow was also off the list) and we were finding it difficult to get to GZ. We tried several ways in, but kept getting stuck in the mud and the mud was too deep to walk in. Eventually we found a deeper channel and our reward was not having to sink in mud up to our knees but a short quick in and out of the boat. Phew! That was a tricky one! The weather is also starting to close in with a fine misting rain, but it's still warm and not too windy, so fingers crossed we should be able to finish the series. TFTC Herbz

Out and about in a hire boat collecting some water caches Lots of laughs, lessons learned, and stories told. I was told the first letter of each of our names was used to make the team name WADERS which is very appropriate because there was lots of that going on today!! I had such a fantastic day, thanks to team work, and great COs, thanks!

The WADERS (Selva Girls, stortigirls, NeverSayDi, E:), Mr RoddyC and EatSleepCacheRepeat) hired a boat for a day on the water. Loving the time on the water Another cache quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

Out on a hire boat with the WADERS (Wanda, Amanda, Di, Elena, Rod & Sam) today to claim some water caches and some good terrain ratings! Lots of fun and laughs as sandbars, mud baths (damn soft sinking mud), songs and stories were enjoyed by all. Thanks for the opportunity for a great day out on the water Herbz and Tftc!

Yup- another easy one with the WADERS - this is a fun group! Thanks for the cache!!

Was here with the WADERS Team today (selvagirls, stortigirls, neversaydi, roddyc and eatsleepcacherepeat). Hired a boat for the day. What a glorious day with wonderful company.

Been longing to put a smiley on this area.

2nd find for the day.

TFTC Herbz. I would not have dreamt of going to this place! What a fabulous day even if we hit some sand bars.

We are back at the Gold Coast for a week, visiting family & time to get away to do some geocaching.
Today was the perfect day to get out onto the water. With my brother as skipper we headed out along the river. Tide was still a little low so we had moments when we finished up on sandbars.
It was quiet muddy as we made our way from the boat to GZ.
Thanks for placing this cache Herbz

Almost twelve months ago we first mooted the idea of boating up to do the T5 caches on the northern Gold Coast waterways. Over the last few weeks we settled on today to ire the boat, but somehow it grew to three boats - a party of , including DiamonJS, Rusty85, Team Benders, Crew 153, Nadine1989, Temingi (from Yeppoon), Vennfamily and Patrol14. Our first port of call was Float Your Boat 7, ending up with the GCPT - Humpback Whale.

What funny little 'islands' pop up in these mangrove areas! The mud bath was worn by Crew153 in retrieving and returning this cache after our little flotilla's occpants signed the log.

Found on 20th April 2016. TFTC.

After we did the first cache for the day this one was next.

Our tinnie was the first to arrive at the location for this one and I volunteered to disembark and plod through the mud and mangroves to retrieve the cache and return it to the flotilla for the signing.

I then returned the cache and managed to get back to the boat without falling over in the mud or losing a shoe.

Thanks Herbz. I needed a mud bath.

While out on the high seas for a spot of plundering (cache finding), our merry band of sailors* motored to this island and after a short time, the cache was spotted and retrieved.
Another Float Your Boat cache logbook signed and returned.
Beautiful day to be out on the water.

TFTC

(* RoddyC, Crew153, Venn Family, Temingi, DiamonJs, Rusty85, Team Benders, Nadine1989)

The four boat group with diamonjs, and geohubby, Crew 153 and Rusty85, motored to this cache while we were putting away the last one. Crew 153 came back with the prize which we all signed and then it was returned to the spot where it came from. There was a lot of bird life out on the lake and we saw white herons, pelicans and I even saw a couple of black swans on the way home at some waterway.
The rest of the crew comprised of Team Benders, patrol14, RoddyC, Nadine1989, Termingi and vennfamily. Enjoying a great day out on the water.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Herbz All good with this cache

Nice day out on the water for my birthday. TFTC

RoddyC extended an invite to me a couple of days ago for a spot on a hire boat to collect some T5 caches. We rocked up this morning at Southport and we were introduced to the plastic bucket, as coined by Mr Patrol14, - a large, yellow, plastic thing with a 6hp motor which was to be our transportation for the day.

I was given the job of pilot and told to head north. A long way north. I think it took about two hours for our plastic bucket to reach Lake Coombabah at it's top speed which was well below the posted 6 knot speed limit. We had to watch as the other hire boat disappeared into the distance. How they didn't collect all the caches before we got there I don't know.

We were working our way back down the series from 7 and this was a quick easy find for Crew 153 in the other boat as we were still making our way to GZ.

TFTC Herbz

Another great cache. TFTC

Gotcha !!! An invitation from RoddyC to join a crew of pirates on a raid of treasures hidden around the Gold Coast waterways was very welcome. Hopped out of the hammock before 5 bells and set sail for Crew153's anchorage to stow away for the land trip south to pick up " The Yellow Pearl " or should that be Peril ? , our Pirate Ship for the day. Think she needed careening as we were the slowest boat in the fleet of three. Still Captain Blair or should that be Bligh did a sterling job of navigating the Good ?? Ship through the treacherous shoals and sandbars to the hidden treasures we were seeking. Didn't find any treasure but we left our marks " X " in each of the Treasure chests we found.
Thanks to Capt. Herbz, Capt. Terror and the other pirates that hid the treasure chests we searched for.

The day was an eye opener for me .Thanks to all involved.

Thanks for all your efforts in placing these caches Herbz. Great fun on the water- and in the mud

Found

Found it

Found with barbbowman fasted59 and JAT

way down south for the day with fasted59 bubba89 and JAT

having lots of fun today ... thank u herbz

log is a little damp

We were out for a day of caching with barbbowman, FastEd59 and bubba89 trying to increase our difficulty / terrain average to 1.9 It is slow going, but we know we will eventually get there Even though it was an overcast day and we had to make our way through a few showers, we still had a very enjoyable day out, mostly on the water.

After finding a few nearby caches, we soon launched our boats for the main event for the day. We admired the scenery as we made our way along this part of the river system, taking care to keep watch for areas of shallow water to avoid running aground (we only did that once or twice ). On arriving at ground zero, we were able to locate the cache easily and with our names added to the log book, we were off to continue our adventure.

Thank you Herbz for having placed the cache and maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Down the coast today with barbbowman, bubba 89 and Just a Trifle.

We're staying well ahead of the tide, so needless to say, we found more sand. All out and drag the boats across and we were soon on our way.

Cache spotted, log signed.

TFTH

Out with Tough mothers krissy and hot wheels duo today having a bit of fun on the water. I surely was glad to hear the next one wasnt as far lol it was quite tough paddling on that water with krissy.

Found with the tough mothers and my Geokids!

We were glad that this next one wasn't as far to go. It got us motivated again. TFTC!

Sadly, this is the only cache of the series I can claim a find on today. Happy to say I lay eyes on it before continuing to paddle trying to keep up.
At least I get to come back and paddle through this beautiful waterway again. tftc

Kept paddling regardless of the wind and tide. Tough Mothers set a cracking pace from the start. Wind, tide, and choppy waters through to this one.

We continued along our way from number 6 to this cache, a smaller stretch so happy for that. Misssusan and bennyboppers went in for the grab here. Tftc

Our second find of the day. Paddling with Fergclan to increase our d/t ratings. We really enjoyed the trip today even though it rained light the entire trip.

Thanks Herbz

Griffo and I were on a roll,too easy so far and loving it.TFTC.

Found while crabbing on a rainy day there was no pencil so I didn't fill in the log

A boating adventure today with 22 out of 23 found (2 unloved) with Gulliverstravel54, cantcachus2014 and i. Starting our day at the runaway bay boat ramp (630am) we only had a small window it find 16 of them before the sea way was in a lock down at 10am as the 1st Xcats power boat championship was here on the gold coast and we didn't want people watching us while we were finding all the hides. Out of the area and clear of the lock down but 30mins we headed north the find the others, low tide up this way played havoc and killed so much of our time up this way. tftcsl

Find #3555 Today we had aquired a vessel with which to collect some T5 caches and our team Of Gt54, Forbiddenground and Cantcacheous 2014 set of early this was the one of many TFTC

Went out today with Gullivers Travels54 & Forbiddenground to finally clear off these caches and turn them into smiles. Some were easy to get to, others were a bit tougher. We all hade a great day and adventure. Thanks to the CO's for placing these caches. Tftc

Today was a mix of Gilligans Island, Patrol Boat, McHales Navy and the the 1983 Americas' Cup. Lots of had with a group of friends out in the bay with a penchant for geocaching.
We had mechanical mayhem, leaks and lateness, injuries and incidents, wet and windy, sandbars and scratches.
We enjoyed the series that took us from Jabiru and wound through the mangroves south to our final destination.
Thanks for a great day Herz!

Well the group spent some time debating whether Herbz needs to spend some more time at earthcaches determining what the difference is between allegedly sandy islands and sticky mangrove mud islands. Plenty of evidence of the later as we hunted for the cache and none of the former, but the cache was eventually located and we hopped aboard with plenty of mud along for the rest of the ride. TFTC

It was time for fleet maneuvres and the Float Your Boat series looked like just the spot to put Admiral Seff's fleet through it's paces.

With Admiral SeffnJarah and his brother, Admiral (ret) Mark, in command of the two fleet vessls, the small flotilla ventured along Coombabah Creek, finding caches and battling with the mud, mangroves, shallow water, and even Herbz's over protective guard dog.

Sandy? Goodness me, lost shoes and ten minutes scrubbing sticky brown stuff off my feet says Muddy! Interesting that the google earth image looks nothing like the reality. The mangroves sure have regenerated quickly here.

Many thanks to my ship mates today. Thanks for the cache, Herbz.

Parts of the route we took from No4 weren't all that deep which we only discovered when we ran aground. By now we had a good idea of what type of cache we were looking for and were getting the docking and mangrove manoeuvres down pat. TFTC Herbz.

Out on a southern adventure with Orange Crew and Luke from Slow Puncture and boy were we in for a day of surprises, ending in one of the worst storms in 30 years!!

While searching for one of the first two in this series, I spotted a small hole in a tree and decided to have a sneaky peak inside, when something in there caught my eye.

As I got closer, the tops of three little baby eggs came into view!! I eyeballed the eggs from a safe distance, not wanting to touch them just in case!! But after finding this and having to explain what I'd found to the others, who hadn't ventured as far into the mangroves as I had, I really wanted to take my phone/camera with me so I could get pics of any further amazing finds!

As I stepped out of the Bullet I was ok, but two steps out I suddenly found the trap door and went down onto my knees! I held my phone up above my head, just in case and then realised I would need at least one arm to get myself, and my shoes, out of the mud... So, after pushing up off one arm, being totally coated in mud to my elbow, I tried to take another step away from the boat... So, there is a comedian around here today and I guess I'm the clown, as I found yet another trap door....

Deciding it was just safer to get my phone back to the boat before venturing any further, I decided to turn and make the attempt to return! Taking a few tentative steps AROUND those mushy spots, I made it to within a foot of the boat and found yet another squishy spot in which to sit around in...

Well, the phone went back into the boat and I eventually found the cache. But no one could doubt my commitment to find these caches today!!

TFTC & the mud!

Today, Team Armenia set out for an excursion to the Gold Coast, primarily to attack Wavebreak Island, Terror Island, South Stradbroke Island and Coombabah Creek in Orange Crew's powerboat (tinnie).

Why Team Armenia? ORANGE Crew, Team DNA (of RED Rocket fame) and Slow Puncture (of BLUE Thunder not-so-much-fame). Know your vexillology, people (Yes, I did have to look up Armenia's flag...).

Really quick find, we are powering now

TFTC, Herbz!

Out and about in Coombabah Creek for a boating adventure with Slow Puncture and Team DNA. Watched as Angela became stuck in the mud, tried to correct, then went kasploosh into the water! No damage done to the splashee or her possessions thankfully, and she made the grab while we repositioned the boat from being grounded by the wind and tide. TFTC

I had been bugging Captain Terror to let me borrow him and his canoe to grab these caches. I have been attempting to get my average Terrain higher and this was definitely a great place to grab some higher terrain caches. After a slight fail yesterday we were out on the water this morning and were making our way from cache to cache, just the time from the last cache to this cache took much longer.

We passed a fisherman on the way to this little island and thought it would be an easy trip straight to the trees... why are we going so slow.. oh... that's a sandbar.. let's try around that way... a minute later we were confronted with more sand... ok let's try over there! After going very slowly and navigating around the sand we were able to pull the boat up and anchor it near a tree.

We made the rest of the journey on foot through the mangroves. I decided to leave my footwear behind as I have a tendency to break them and the mangrove root things weren't too hard here anyway. I laughed and giggled and shrieked my way to GZ as I sunk up to my knee with every step I took. Apparently little feet aren't the best things to ensure a clean outfit.

We got to GZ and the cache was found quickly. I signed my name in the logbook and the container was replaced as found. We laughed as we squelched back to the boat and the Captain tried to get most the mud off me before we continued on to the next one. Thanks for the cache Herbz.

I have hired a Kayak for the week-end and was going to make the most of it.
After an outing yesterday I was all set for another outing today.
I teamed with IolantheK again for another adventure.[^]
With the tide coming in (we thought) we decided to head all the way to end, number 7 first.
We soon discovered that the water was still leaving the creek.
On our return leg from number 7 we stopped in here and nearly got grounded in the kayaks, very shallow water. This meant a bit of a wade through the mud to reach the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

Staying with family in Oz, luckily Brad has a boat so wow lets find some caches.

had a great time looking for these, spotted a few mud crabs and dropped some crab pots.

we was nearly up to our waists in mud a few times as the tide was going back out and had to get wet to manouver the boat... but hey thats all in the fun.

Even had a swim in the creek to get cleaned up after taking the boat out of the water nice strong current was swimming and getting no where.

Brad said " Crazy Pomme " i know its you winter and its too cold for you guys hahahaaha.

Tftc

Yay

A day of geocaching with our friends the Couchmen started. The weather was not looking good but finally we just had just some drops.

We started this series with the first one, but since we could not locate it we just went on to the next ones.

For this one Couchmen and Mr Dhobi had to go out of the boat, since the waters were very low... After some mud trekking they managed to get their hands on the cache.

Thanks Herbz for this cruise, and Couchman for sailing the boat

These water caches have been sitting at the top of our unfound caches list for so long because we couldn't get hold of any sort of water craft with a motor.

It would have been nice to think we could borrow a canoe or kayak and paddle our way around but when reality bites we are just too old and unfit to even attempt it.

I had never been out on a houseboat and Geo Wife had only been on one once quite a few years ago so we had the idea of combining a houseboat holiday with a caching adventure.

Our next problem came when it wasn't possible to take the boat under the Jabiru Island Bridge, we solved that by hiring a motor for the tender and getting special permission to use it up the lake.

We invited our caching friends the "Dhobitock"s to visit it us on the boat for the day and they jumped at the chance of picking up the "Float Your Boat" series.

The weather forecast was not looking good with possible showers and thunderstorms but that wasn't going to deter us.

Geo Wife sent us off with her blessings, so all provisioned up we headed off from north of Jabiru Island.

I made the mistake of approaching this one from the south which meant that with the tide not quite reaching up this far yet we hit the mud again.

I got a call from the boat hire company warning us of the impending storm but it still seemed quite clear where we were.

Mr "Dhobitock" & I sloshed our way thru the mud sometimes sinking deep but with determination we reached GZ just as bigger drops of rain started to fall.

We decided to head for the nearest solid land to wait out the storm and reached there with no incident and no heavy rain to speak of.

We did a little bush trekking in search of a bit of shelter but the rain was still not forthcoming.

It was a bit of a shame that we didn't have an ocean liner with us because it would have taken that to remove all of the rubbish that was left behind by lazy good for nothings.

All I can say is that there was a very large amount of alcohol consumed and the containers just left behind.

The storm skirted past us without even getting close to a soaking so we were sure being looked after.

We had one of two choices to make now but really it was just one so we headed on to No 6

Thanks Herbz for taking us on this cruising adventure.

Corrected date.

Log to follow when we get home

This was the fifth of 8 caches today out on Coombabah Creek. I didn't realise until now that it was a 12km round trip. With just a kayak and paddle Im going to be sore tomorrow. I headed out from Jabiru Island and thankfully it's high tide.
I was looking forward on getting out and walking around on the sand. But the tide was still up and was to deep for that. I had to stand on my kayak to reach this one. I nearly fell in a few times. There was a muggle close by fishing out of his kayak but luckily the trees were between us. Someones pontoon has come loose and drifted up here. If anyone wants one come toe it home. Its a bit to big for a bit of CITO I think. SL. Thanks Herbz for another good one in the series.

The tide is starting to slow down now. Hopefully I have timed it so that it will have turned for my trip back to the car Over shot this one and had to circle back again

I'm sure the people on the boat nearby were chuckling at the pair of inept canoers who managed to get themselves stuck on the "island", clearly unaware that the water was really shallow in there... if only they knew! TFTC, Herbz. =^.^=

Out on the water in the geocaching canoe with La Kedi doing the Foat Your Boat series in reverse, having set off from Coombabah Lake to rendezvous with a car at Jabiru Island. I had the outboard on and the taps wide open to whizz us around this series at full pelt and I was thankful we didn't have to paddle as our tide timing wasn't great. We had plenty of water depth now that we had left the shallowest parts of the creek and following the channel was easy, especially with no other traffic on the water.

As the GPS counted down I spotted an island that I knew would sport a cache.. it really is begging for it. So slowly the power came off and we floated to within about 10m before we bottomed out and had to leg it. The canoe slid alongside and the obvious tree sure enough held a cache.

Again, thankfull there was a pen inside and we added our names to the shiny new logbook. I quite liked this spot here, very private and hardly accessible to anyone with a larger watercraft. TFTC Herbz, another favourite point

IolantheK and I hired a 2 man kayak from Roscoe Brisbane to try out our boating skills on the EKKA P.H. We could have picked a better tide as this cache series are easier to get at during high tide, hey but we still had a fun day.

We launched at Daisy Elms Park Boat Ramp at Coombabah. After collecting "Float Your Boat 2" we headed down steam to "Float Your Boat 1". We then decided to go all the way to "Float Your Boat 6" and work out way back via the other caches to our launch site.
Arrived close to GZ and you guessed it more mud. We located the cache and dutifully signed the log and continued paddling to get to "Float Your Boat 4"

The cache is dry and is in good condition.

TFTC Herbz

My geospouse T-Tech and I have a mad kayaking and caching day coming up soon, so we figured we'd better get in some practice This series seemed to meet all our criteria for today's outing: not too far a drive to get there; an easy launch spot; doable within 10 kms of paddling; and a tidal area, but somewhat sheltered as it is a little further back from the coastline. We put in at Daisy Elms Park boat ramp at 10:30am as the tide was going out.

Number 4 for us, and it was probably the easiest. Even thought eh tide was just about out, we were able to pull up pretty close to GZ and T-Tech did the deed. TFTC, Herbz.

Grate thanks

Finally made it back out today to finish the series on the back of DYLTA!s jet ski. The sun was starting to go down, the midges were coming out and it was getting cold so we didn't hang around long. Got in the mud did what we needed to do and got out!
Good to get the last 2 smiley faces on my map and to be able to log this one in the caching games.
Tftc

Dylta! came up for a short holiday to the Gold Coast with his jetski... perfect opportunity to complete the "Float your boat" series. It was much easier using the jetski rather than kayaks like the first time! TFTC!

Wow a bit muddy at low tide this one!

Found during a days outing on the tinnie with GeoDog. TFTC.

Quick find on wonderful day out. Muddy but great hide. Kids loved sinking up to their knees in mud. Mum found a more solid route:) TFTC

Geokid found with Cowpatty 3

Another cache grabbed by Stairman1, geodogs, geodaughter and I. Stairman1 walked to this one but stood on something sharp in the water . Lucky there wasn't too much blood to attact any nasties . Log signed and returned we are off to the last one in this series. Thanks Herbz

Another find with goldielover. We tried to deepen the channel a little more getting to this one. Will make it a little easier for the next one along. Still managed to get fairly close before I needed to get my feet wet. Have loved these caches and only one more to get.
Thanks again Herbz

Onward we paddled to this one. From memory, this was the one had the most distance between it and the previous cache. The current, for the most part, was in our favour.

No sandy island for us today - but it was pretty much the same. Radnoski nearly ended up in the drink. This would have been amusing as long as he didn't have anything valuable on him at the time The cache was in good condition. TFTC Team Herbz

Out kayaking with Fangsoki and the Cow. This was the penultimate cache of the series for us.

It looked pretty shallow so I decided to jump out and wade to this one. The mud wanted to eat my shoes but I managed to keep both of them. I even delivered the cache to Fangsoki as he bobbed around in his kayak.

Thanks for the cache Herbz.

We headed off to the last of the series and got to watch some eagles ("Osprey" maybe) flying around overhead.

Mmmm-Saturday morning, a new cache involving a bit of a paddle-sounds good, we can do the rest of the series while we are there-no one has logged yet, probably just waiting.No need to hurry-go get some coffee first. Are the tides right-who cares? we'll be paddling against the current one way anyway. OK, dust off the kayaks and decamp a few unwanted arachnids and load up.
Launching at Jabiru, we spot a kayaker across the way 'bet that is a fellow cacher'-nope , just a paddler out for morning exercise.

Well we got to "Float your Boat 1" and were surprised to find a clean log -A FTF for us, and so it went all the way down to F.Y.B.5=5 FTF's.

Thanks for a great series-yes we need more of these.
