10months is ridiculous. If you want a replacement cache and waterproof log let us know we are happy to help!
But otherwise I want 10months on ALL of my caches to maintain!

Stripped down to cycling nix and jumped on river and headed towards GZ with GPSr held above water....current was surprisingly strong....spotted cache from about 5m away....log totally saturated put name on log as best as possible....thanks blob
Great name; cache is truly waterlogged. Mickeydv tried to write on the log but it seemed pointless. Thanks for the cache blob_; great views from here.
A hot public holiday so time for a swim to collect this one... didn't take my gps with me, so swam to one side and searched and then the other and searched with no luck. Swam back to the first side and instead of searching from above, climbing up onto the wooden horizontals, I did a floating search. Bingo 
Climbed back up to open the cache and sign log. Unfortunately this isn't waterproof despite being hard to open - it even cut my hands up a bit trying to open it. Found Felix's waterproof log sheet ,but even that is getting a bit sodden now. Signed it as much as I could with a wet pen. Fun way to spend half hour or so

Well this has taken some master planning to get to this cache. And I am so pleased it was to be this morning which was a balmy 15degrees at 7am as opposed to Thursday which was 1degree and Friday which was 2 degrees.
Mrs Felix worked night shift last night so was in Midland ready to head home and Mr Felix packed the inflatable in the geocruiser already inflated last night. I can tell you though when the alarm went off at 6am this morning he was really questioning his sanity!!
Anyways we met on the shore near the cache just after 7am. What we hadn't thought about was the Avon Descent being only a few weeks away. So whilst setting up the inflatable and getting organised a power boat came roaring up the river and almost caused a tidal wave, this wasn't giving Mr Felix much confidence heading out into the river looking overboard!
He bravely pushed off from shore and headed to GZ. As he approached out of nowhere 2 kayaks came racing past. They were very busy though keeping time so they raced onwards, leaving a bit of wake for Mr Felix to ride out but all was good.
Cache located but alas the log was just too sodden to do anything with. The cache container is obviously not waterproof. He came back to shore and we have replaced it with a write in the rain logsheet, but whilst it may last longer, it isn't a permanent solution.
This was a great cache and such a magnificent morning to do it. But do be careful over the next few weeks as Avon Descent approaches, the river is quite busy. Some photo's to be attached.
A fave for sure blob. TFTC.

This afternoon I went for a paddle with friends to seek out this cache. We put in at Kings Meadow Oval and paddled upstream to the bridge. An easy find once there. The log was soggy on the outer layers. I though the waterproofing might have failed slightly but as the inner layers were ok it may just be due to wet handling. Perhaps the log could be replaced with more water resistant paper. Thanks for a good excuse for an afternoons paddle. I left a GA moveable frog nearby.
FTF at 1:00pm.
Who can resist going for a dip on a lovely 25 degree day? The water was a bit brrrrrrrr though...
Luckily I spotted the cache straight away when I arrived at GZ, unfortunately I couldn't open it for the life of me! I thought for a while I was going to have to take it back to dry land with me, but I kept working on it, and eventually managed to get it open!
Woohoo!! Thanks for the cache blob_
