Isle of Terror - South Main Beach, Queensland, Australia
By Captain Terror on 10-Nov-12. Waypoint GC41ABX

Found it with Deafgroup 8 TFTC ????

A lone tree stands on a sandbank, half the time with wet toes. And for some reason is a beacon, attracting people of some sort to remove this geocache over and over.

I'll take it as a sign that this geocache has had it's time and let it go. There's still two reasons left to visit Curlew Bank anyway.

Thank you to all who visited, wrote a lovely log, uploaded photos and dished out favourite points!

Nice easy find - TFTC with deaf group ????

Got it with Deafgroup 8 ?? TFTC ??

Hooray thanks for share Deafgroup 8 ????????

High tide. Tied the tinny to the tree.
Did not find it, that said there is signs of recent damage to the tree

Awesome spot .. we go past all the time but never stopped and my husband and I first GC . thanks

Another nice quick climb terror no more TFTC LOKKY1

Trilogy solved. TFTC
The sand crabs make lots of balls.

Our last for the island. Thanks!

Great find. Didn’t have a pen so I’d to grab a photo . Bit of a spoiler if you look at the photo be warned

After a previous DNF attempted this one again since the cache has been replaced. Completed at low tide. Great exercise.

A great day to be out on the water.

Easily found once at GZ.

Find #2921

TFTC ***Captain Terror***

What’s better than one day out on the water…two days out on the water! Yesterday we had gone for a ride out to Green Island, when we got home we thought that we wouldn’t flush out the geo-jet as we were pretty sure that we would be coming down to the Well again by the look of the weather.

Come the morning, we were procrastinating about whether to come down again and thankfully because we hadn’t flushed out the geo-jet and put it away that made our decision to get up from the breakfast bar stools and come down this way again. We launched from Cabbage Tree Point which was busier than an Indian train in peak hour, Summer is most certainly on its way back. We enjoyed the ride down to the Spit and reached the Island we needed. Tide was low, so we anchored out and made the walk through the crystal clear waters to the Island. This was our first find here.

Tftc Captain Terror

I’ve been wanting to get to this one for a while and today was the day. It was high tide but still too shallow to get the jet skis very close, so parked them about 200 meters away and wandered over to GZ. Headed in and spotted the cache straight away. A great one! Thanks for placing and for maintaining Captain Terror! TFTC!

Today I felt the Isle of Terror needed some attention, so I headed down with the kayak and launched from the Spit side. With the tide a long way out, the paddle was short and rough but the walk was super long across the banks.

Here was the main reason for the trip today, this geocache was missing. I could tell that someone had 'helped' with the removal of this geocache as the zip-ties were all twisted. Ah well, I left a new geocache in a slightly different place and it's ready to be found some more

One the way from South back to my kayak near Central, I did a bit of CITO on the sand flats. Plenty of plastic cups, bait bags and single use sauce packets. Sounds like the Gold Coast!

Found the tether but log is missing.

Only found the tether, but no cache.

It's geohubby's RDO today so we planned to have a paddle date. I've recently joined a sea kayaking club and completed a basic skills course, so it was time to test myself out in the waves. Yikes!

Since we had started the paddle today, the wind had picked up and the tide was really starting to come in. As we got closer to our target we realised where the cache was going to be. Luckily the water was below my knees when I got out of the kayak, so it was a nice easy walk to the cache and no climbing was involved, yay! I also realised how quickly the water was rising, because by the time I headed back to the kayak, the water was now over my knees - in less than 5 minutes! TFTC Captain Terror, I really enjoyed visiting Curlew Island and its surrounds

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. This was the last one for the day, in low tide and we had to walk about 90 mtrs to get to GZ. Neat hide here and thanks for the cache Captain Terror.
Found May 12, 2018

Last one for the island and my seafaring friend dropped me about 100 metres away. It was obvious where the cache was hiding and my instincts did not let me down. What did let me down was the state of the cache. The lid was off but still somehow attached and the cache was half full of water. But how did the log book disappear. Alas, I came with nothing, so could not even throw in a bank slip from my wallet. Despite this, it’s an awesome series.

Had to walk to this one due to a mechanical issue. Water only ankle deep. TFTC

The last find on my boating morning with Selva Girls and Mr & Mrs Patrol14. Having found the previous 2 nearby caches, we continued our stroll along the sand past some loud, pink enthusiastic English tourists pumping yabbies with a great deal of noise and enthusiasm (even if with pitiful results), and a group of pelicans watching the show. Once again a quick find here, before wading back out to the boat for the trip back to the mainland. Tftc Captain Terror

While attending the CITO event on the island, we motored around to the entry point for stortigirls to find this cache. Visiting the TB's we have on board. Great day to be out boating.

Gold Coast Day
Today we headed over to the spit for a family get together.
My brother bought his tinny, so was captain for the day. We headed out into the water with larger vessels cruising by & smaller jet ski's wizzing past. The weather was just too good for all the boaties to ignore.
On the islands we left the tinny anchord & walked to each cache. The containers were quickly spotted & signed.
We were going to finish with a fish & chip lunch but the line up was just too long to wait.
Thanks for placing this cache Captain Terror

Found it!! Great cache!! Thank you!

What else does a boy do on Easter Sunday? Join the hoardes of boats on the Broadwater and maintain some geocaches. I set off from the Spit in my kayak, straight across to Curlew Island here. I landed basically at Isle of Terror - Central, so legged it down to this one.

The joys of coming at low tide, it was dry the entire way, and the soldier crabs were out in force.Thanks to RoddyC for the repacement on this one, not a big surprise the old one parted ways with the location. I dropped in an entire replacement just to be sure. All good to go again - same island, same tree, same height!

We can finally change this from a frown to a smiley after todays adventure.

TFTC

Out on a boatie trip with RoddyC, Nursey Julie, Selva Girls and E:) to explore Wavebreak Island and surroundings.
We lobbed up here in our 6 person flotilla at only 6 knots of speed and attached at GZ.
We searched high and low but the cache was not here and as permission had been granted to replace the cache Mrs RoddyC had one in her possession and progressed ashore in knee high water to place the cache. Mr RoddyC gave assistance and soon the cache was placed.
Signed the log.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks Captain Terror All good with this cache

A boating adventure today. This was our first up for the day. We had permission from the CO to check and replace this one. Fortunately it was high tide and we were able to get the boat in quite close. Mrs RoddyC did the honours and soon joined by Mr RoddyC performing the maintenance. TFTC Captain Terror

Out for a day on the water with Mr & Mrs RoddyC, Nurseyjulie, E(: and Team Benders. As it was high tide, we made our way to this one first. This meant that our little hire boat would be able to get in. Permission had been given to replace this cache, so Mrs RoddyC got a little wet and eventually found a spot for it. (Looks like the original spot may have broken off in a storm.) The new cache was securely attached and we headed on our way. TFTC

Cleared the island with other cachers.

TFTC

A designated day for water based caching. We had completed several long-distance boat caches last year, but still had the seven in the main channel off Southport to find. So we hired a six-person tinnie today, and set off. We knew that two caches were missing, so received gracious permission for the respective COs to replace them. Thanks guys!

We headed straight for this one as it was almost high tide, and we knew we could get the boat right up to GZ. Mrs RoddyC took the new cache with her as she hopped out and into the knee-deep water. We could see where recent weather events have removed several branches from the tree - there surely was no cache here, Captain Terror.

She had difficulty tethering the cache, so I too got wet shoes but between us we found what we considered to be the best spot in accordance to the Captain's cache page hint. [B)]

Now there is a nice new cache there waiting for the next intrepid boatie-cacher to come along and find it.

Log signed & replaced again. Found at 10.45am on 15th February 2017. TFTC

Since we had such a good time chasing down caches on the Pine River last week, we made a plan to finish getting the caches on the water around the Broadwater. Arrived at the ramp about 7am (high tide at 8am) and motored over to this one first.
High tide had us bobbing around in amongst the tree and searched high and low for this one but couldn't find it. Got a bit hairy after a passing vessel made some huge waves which almost knocked me off my perch. The water level around the tree at high tide is about 1m.
After about 25 minutes hubby called it quits and we left to find the other caches on Curlew island and Wavebreak Island.
With the tide getting near low, we took another look at this one and had to walk 100m to the tree from the boat. Spent another 15 mins looking all around but still couldn't locate this one.
Since it hasn't been found since September last year, maybe a check to see if it still there would be helpful.
Even though we didn't find it, it was a lovely day to be out on the water...
Thanks for bringing us here.

Catching up on some late logs from our recent trip up North and a chance to hire a small boat and catch some sun and a couple of caches was just the ticket. We headed off with a couple of other caching teams, Moosetash and Happy Feet and the six of us (including two eager caching kids) set off on smooth waters and tackled the Isle of Terror series. The cache was soon located after a short search, thanks Captain Terror for the hide and for bringing us here.

Had hired a boat so we could enjoy the views and grab a few caches. It was low tide so it was an easy walk amoungst the pelicans and soldier grabs to make another quick find at GZ. Fantasitc views from here.This log was full also and needs replacing.
Thanks Captain Terror for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.
#3688

A quick find here by Happy pants, after looking on a different angle to me. The little boys were loving walking through the thousands of crabs that were on the beach. Awesome little blue ones that made a cool sound as they scurried away from us. This is what caching's about! Thanks for hiding this and giving us a wonderful day.

With the mornings activities out of the way it was time to see how much of a dash we could do around the islands and sea wall in the kayak. A few spots it was easier to walk the kayak along the sand due to the current and winds. It's certainly worth keeping clear of the two break walls on the island as there was white water and a very visible current. Certainly a few boats out today and nice to see some Dolphins out. We took the bush bash way into CaleD is Breaking Waves and this was the hardest to find as the GPSr bounced around and the hint matches so many spots. Small Bertha had us tricked as the cache container was full of water so we picked it up and put it down when we heard all the water. Eventually we realised and emptied out the water but the log was unsignable. Out along the Seawall for the unofficial GCPT and we spotted a couple of small wallabies in the shade. A bit of looking for some but we got there in be end. TFTC.

Enjoyed the day of work today for my birthday.

Paddled over with R for some 40tb birthday T5 caches.

TFTC all good here.

After completing central i looked at the gps and was amazed at the distance remaining. How can it be the island ends. Surely its not out on one of those?
It sure was and our canoe was at the other end of the island. Luckily the tide had fallen and we were able to make it to the cache without swimming.

A great day out. South Straddy, Wavebreak island and Terror island in just over 5 hours

Thanks

We couldn't believe our eyes as we rounded the bend and realised GZ was through some water at a highish tide which it was,fortunatly it turned out to be only knee deep so all was well.How good to have your own island Mr Terror,when you build your big house here we might come for a coffee.Now of to check how the DT grid looks,how close to 1.78 can we be.TFTC.Captain.

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 #3536 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 first 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

Stunning morning for a paddle, easy find once I hit my head. Serves me right for having tunnel vision. Yay another souvenir for the challenge , now to make my d/t matrix look a little less lopsided .
Tftc

Another walk for me between caches while my nephew returned to the boat to await my return. It was a bit of an effort plodding along through the soft sand and sinking down with every step. Even the nearby scoop of pelicans, who were watching my every move, were leaving deep prints in the sand, so what chance did I stand. Finally I found some harder sand and progressed improved. At GZ the cache was quickly spotted and I didn't require the services of my absent nephew to make the retrieval. TFTC

A further stretch of the legs from central took us to what must be blue crabs breeding grounds, there were thousands of them, and millions of babies! Mr Garmin said we had to walk right through them to find GZ, what way out there? Yep turned out to be right, so thanks Garmin and thanks for the cache!

We hired a boat to tackle some T5 caches this was our first for the day at low tide TFTC

TFTC full log to follow.

We made it to the bottom of the island and made the last find for the day. The tide was really going out so it was challenge to rejoin the boat. We got there and made our way back to Southport, not before having to negotiate the wake of a large cruise boat.

Found on a day of hi jinx on the high seas, aka the Broadwater. Geo Cruise 2, organised by HotWheelsDuo, I joined Gunnie69, russelz, swellerfungus, LadySims, karenhippo, bristracker, lost 2 found and K8'n'Co. Thanks Captain Terror for the cache!

When I checked the bearing and distance to this cache back at central I was unsure the island was long enough but once again my navigation was proved wrong. Fortunately we had timed our visit with a low tide so it was a reasonable although a bit soggy walk to the very end and along the way it was deemed "Lost 2 Found" should do the climbing for this one and boy did she get off easy for our final for the day.

Out with Geocruise #2 today.
We knew were we were heading with this one.
A nice one to finish the day on.
Thanks Captain Terror.

...and a very quick find after a sprint across a big sand flat to finish of the second Geo-Cruise. nice to finally have these three as smilies. Great place to visit, just wish we had more time to hang around.

Today I was out with the Geo cruise #2 on a very hot day picking up a bunch of caches on islands. Good to get some terrain 5 caches knocked off. TFTC

As part of Geo Cruise number 2 today we visited caches on South Stradbroke Island, Wavebreak Island, and a Terror-ble Island. Lots of fun and geo chatter made the day a pleasant (but very hot) one.

On our last few caches of the day and our wonderful chauffeurs dropped us up the top of this tiny island, and met us at the bottom end, which made for a few super quick finds.


Now....which one could it be...! Bahahaha

Tftc. Number 300 for us.

Waded out to nab this beauty at high tide today TFTC

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!!

As I've mentioned earlier, you have to be quick to make a find with all the experience in the team today, so, I didn't wait for the Mr's but raced off, legs over the water to get a bit of speed up!!

By the time the others had finished anchoring the boat, I had made the find and was sitting quite comfortably in the tree, signing the log!

TFTC

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...).

After initially starting to walk here from Central, we quickly realised that this would be extremely foolhardy at high tide. So we returned to the tinnie and motored toward the location. One problem, we could only get to within 50 metres. So, down anchor as Angela ran (splashed) off in pursuit of the cache. By the time Kieran and Luke got there, she had it found and signed.

TFTC, Emperor of the Island.

Out for a day of boating fun zipping around the Broadwater with Slow Puncture and Team DNA. It took a moment to secure the boat in the shallows, and before I knew it Angela was off like a shot wading through the water to make a quick find.

The last one for this section and a nice easy grab.

Log signed and replaced.

TFTH

wide awake at 3am so what do you do ... go caching

oh dear ... I know this is a first ... disappointed at not being a climb LOLOLOLOLOL

Late logging but our name is on the cache.
Found quickly with help from hint.
All three finally done

Thanks for the cache beautiful day kayaking.

Thanks for the cache. Tide was a high but I didnt the adventure

Found

Out for a spot of Kayaking with Gunnie on the Gold Coast Seaway. We set sail (paddle ) from the Spit a tad after 7:00 am and the “Terrible Island” became first port of call for the morning. Berthing at the centre port allowed us to walk down towards this one. On the way I was starting to wander if the walk would turn into a wade through the slushy sand as we sank ever deeper with each step but a change of path kept us from disappearing into the depths.

I took some time to admire the bird life down this way an take a few happy snaps including views down to Mt Warning while Gunnie set looking for the prize.

On foot from Island central, Ruzzelz and I worked our way through the very soft sand and past the dead pelican who had obviously had a tough time in his last hours...

At GZ, I made my way into the centre as Ruzzelz worked around the outside. I was within a metre of the container as soon as I arrived, but didn't see it for a good 5 minutes or so... I blame IolanthK or T-Tech for hiding it so well... I couldn't even see the tell tale sign.. They're good... After covering all angles, I turned around and HEY, it was there all the time. Ruzzelz rolled his eyes and gave me that lok of disgust... You know the one...

I quickly added our names to the log and we shot through before we wasted anymore time.

Cheers Captain Terror.

Out on the water for Anzac Day today albibops, geono. and I decided to put my brothers jet ski to work.
He ferried us across one by one to the island were wer started the shirt walk throughout the masses of little crabs!
Not too many places it could be so we managed to find it quite easily.
TFTC

The Isle of Terror was always just out of our reach but today we got the chance to jet ski it....literally. We set out with Noo82 and Albibops to this cache first but between us and GZ were about 30 million crabs, and what were our chances of not treading barefooted on at least a few (eek!). Cache found and the crab population in tact. TFTC Captain Terror.

Out for a day of caching via kayak with IolantheK and teamdfl (believe it or not teamdfl only came for single cache, such is her devotion to making her cache map all smiles [:o)]) [^]
After our meeting at Helensvale McDonalds we headed down and found a couple of car parks at Harley Park (Don't need a boat ramp to launch a Kayak [^]). Then off we paddled in a anti-clockwise direction between "The Isle of Terror" and Wave Break then South Stradebroke, back to Nth End of Wave Break and down its the west side finishing at Big Bertha [^]
We arrived at GZ after herding crabs over the sand flats where I soon found our quarry, IolantheK wasn't required for the vertical bit this time, and we retraced our steps back to the kayaks to continue [^]
The cache is dry and in good condition []
TFTC Captain Terror

T-Tech and I hired Rosco's Tidemark double kayak and met up with teamdfl for some paddling fun on ANZAC Day. We set off from Harley Park and visited "Isle of Terror", Wave Break Island and South Stradbroke Island, collecting 10 smilies from 11 hunts. A great few hours [^]

Our first landfall was Isle of Terror, and we walked from Central to this one as the tide was right out. Lots of very cute blue shiny crabs along our way. T-Tech made the grab here. TFTC, Captain.

The last one of the IOT caches before heading back to the kayak. I hit some soggy sand along the way and my foot prints started getting deeper and deeper. I engaged low-range and pulled myself out of the bog that I was getting into.

The cache was found and I was on my way back to the trust vessel. I came across thousands of soldier crabs on my bee-line back. They were in large formations swarming around the beach. I did set the camera on a timer and try to herd them towards it but the results (as you would expect were a bit random).

Thanks for the adventure on a dreary old Gold Coast day. Cheers!!

Find number 1894.... so here is something you didn't know (or maybe did know) about 1894...... (speaking of islands....well kind of)... "The Drought of 1894"..... The weather was also a problem in Adams County in the early 1890s. Rainfall was low and July, 1890 saw several days of 100-degree heat topped by 110 and 115 degree days, The corn crop was destroyed and several businesses failed in Hastings. Sufficient rainfall in 1891, was followed by three increasingly dry years and a drought, which peaked in July, 1894. Spring temperatures in 1894 were abnormally high, reaching 105 degrees in May.

In May 1894 Hastings citizens wrote a Rock Island, Illinois rainmaker for assistance. He was too busy to come. He said, however, that for $700 he would furnish enough material for two good rains, and requested Hastings send two men, " Masons (who could keep secrets) preferred." To them he would entrust rainmaking materials and instructions for their use. On May 26 Hastings merchants purchased eight kegs of gunpowder and exploded it at the fairgrounds, testing the theory that heavy explosions will produce rain. A slight shower fell, but it only settled the dust.

By July Hastings businessmen were desperate enough to hire rainmakers Morris and Son of Iowa. At a meeting of a newly formed rainmaking committee, Wm. Dutton was elected president, A.H. Cramer secretary and W.H. Lanning treasurer. Mr. Morris, who was present, proposed that for $600 he would, within five days, produce a half-inch rain over 300 square miles of territory in this vicinity. His guarantee: No rain, no pay. Mr. Morris read testimonials from various parts of the country. The committee then began collecting subscriptions, and Morris and son commenced operations. After five days there was no rain and no prospects.

I mentioned to Captain Terror quite a while ago that I needed a few caches around this area to help my statistics page look a little prettier and he agreed to take me out in the famous Roo to get them. Today seemed to be a perfect opportunity with the event nearby, how could we say no?

We got down to the Spit about 11:30 and started setting up the canoe. Ten minutes later I was sitting in the front seat looking out at the ridiculously busy channel. Seriously? Why can't all these big boats find somewhere else to play?

We finally made our way across and dragged the canoe up onto the sand before trudging our way through the sand and over to GZ. We realised en route that the Captain was bleeding. Now it is feeling like a normal day together

We arrived at GZ and I headed in to start looking. I found the cache easily and was very happy to find a perfectly dry logbook when I opened it up. I left my name and replaced the cache before we started to head back to the canoe. Thanks for the cache Captain Terror. I had a great day out getting it.

Found with Stooy while exploring these islands. It was quite the adventure, we even camped on the island for the night. Thanks for a great cache.

Hmmm I wonder where it could be..? finding the cache was easy, extracting it was not! the log was firmly wedged in the bottom of the cache and gave up a good fight before gently being seduced out with the use of a makeshift extraction toll. The log should be easier to extract for the next finder. All caches we found are in great condition and it was heaps of fun finding them. Thanks to all the local CO's, these island caches were the highlight of our time on the Gold Coast.

Until now, all my high terrain caches have been long hikes up nasty hills, as I have never had the means to easily chase these water based high terrain caches. Well, the family fixed that with a nice plastic kayak, duly christened "Frank" as a Christmas present.

The family is still in North Qld visiting in laws, so I was free to go caching today. With temperatures predicted to hit 42 celsius in Brisbane today, it was a bit of a no brainer to be on the water today.

The plan was to grab the Terror Island caches first, then circumnavigate Wavebreak Island clockwise, before venturing over to South Straddie before returning. I set off from the Spit at about 0730 on an incoming tide and had to dodge all manner of boats before making landfall.

I waded down to GZ and invested an easy half hour admiring the 100 or so (I counted) pelicans I met on the way. Once at GZ, it look a few minutes for me to spot the container. All nice and dry here.

This cache fills a blank square on my D/T matrix. This paddling caching thing sure is easier than spending all day climbing a mountain! Thanks for the cache, Captain Terror. A favourite point for the pelicans.

#1,510

We did this one with Doug.G & peter37 on 09/12/2012 and it was only whilst doing the Isle of Terror North & Central last week that we realised we had not logged this one!
Well as the saying goes - better late than never
TFTC

Today's goal was to 'find' the 10 caches out here on 'Wave break Island', 'South Stradbroke Island and the island south of Wave break Island.
But do I own a boat? Nope.
Did I organise to borrow someone else's boat? nope.
So I swam.
Low tide was around 0430 this morning so I started as soon as I could see the other side.

The plan was to go to Wave Break Island first (shortest swim), collect the 5 caches there, across to South Stradbroke Island, 2 caches here, a quick turn around back to Wave break Island, walk back to the south end and cross over to the next island for the last three and finish just south of where I left the car. And I followed the plan

What happened I did not expect was going to and from South Stradbroke Island starting near 'Wave Break Wonderland'. The swim over was easy...I knew with the tide coming in I would 'drift' a little north and I did (about 100m) no problem.
On the return I knew I would drift north again. So far so good. The swim back went according to plan until I got about 50-100m from the rock wall.

The current was like a very strong rip around the end of the wall. I got to about 30m from the wall and just got washed past the wall and beyond. Straight into a couple out fishing in their boat. They were kind enough to let me on board and then drive me around to the beach.

Back to the plan and all went well after that. Though the last swim had to be timed when there was less traffic and do it quickly. A great adventure that ended well after 5 hours.

This cache:
Continuing the walk to the last cache on the islands. The tide had not reached its high point this this one was still on 'dry land' but only just. [^] This one took the most searching of the three as I entered from the opposite side to the cache.
All dry and in good condition here as well.
Thanks for the cache.

Sailed my one man ship to the south and anchored about 100 meters or so away. The tide was still coming in so there was still alot of sand exposed. Quite a nice walk across the sand to GZ, it's such a beautiful morning to be out on the water. Seagulls and pelicans all over the bar this morning, warming themselves up in the sun. The sand bar is covered in ripples and stingray holes and is surprisingly soft under foot.
How cool is this tree? Awesome place for a cache. This one took a few minutes to find as it blends in very well. Added my name to the log sheet and replaced.
TFTC and for the series Captain Terror. This ones a favorite.
We need more water way caches on the coast, there great fun.

Perfect day for a find!

Found it. Cheers

Holy CRABBB!!! What a cool cache! So much fun!!! TFTC!

Great day boating around the harbor in our tinny for geocaches. Not a hard find but great fun getting there.

Great series of caches thanks!

This was our first cache on the island. We'd parked (is that what you do with a boat?) near the northern cache and enjoyed a walk down here and back. GZ is kinda obvious, talk about a pimple on a bull's bum, but finding the actual cache took a bit of looking. Eventually TN/LN/SL and squelched our way back north.

Damp sand makes for difficult walking at times.....never mind, the nearby flock of little birds distracted me sufficiently to ignore my plodding footsteps. Cache was spotted by my own eagle eyes , log signed and cache returned. We headed to the next find ignoring the marathon of jet skis on the broadwater. TFTC

Found this one with son ( Doug.g ) over from Ireland with grandson. Read his log below for fuller description. Grandson from Ireland loved this avventure waljing over sand to the cache.

I was out today with Peter37 in little bro's boat with the full geo-kid trifecta in tow. Our plan was to do some tubing behind the boat and pick up one or two of the Isle of Terror caches as well.

So our intent was to simply float up to GZ, reach over the side of the boat, grab the cache and that would be that. Yeah right... We were running late getting the boat in the water (well getting out of bed actually), so by the time we got to GZ the tide was out and we had a 100 metre trek over the sandbank. Not to worry, as this was great fun for all concerned. How often do you get the chance to stand in the middle of tidal land on a glorious sunny day. Being from Dublin in Ireland, I can tell you the answer is not at all.

Really enjoyed this one. Favourite point awarded.

I also added a ziplock bag for the log to keep it dry.

Cache number three on the Isle of Terror and this was definitley the most scary. There were crabs scurrying all over the place. Very crunchy. Dived in, made the find and then went to find where my transport had got too. Captain Marchwood was still a couple of hundred metres away and looking like she needed the first mate to attend sooner rather than later. She was waiting in the shallows in tricky conditions (to quote Ms M) and a two man crew was required to set sail.
TFTC and the entertainment. Rushig around in tin boats is not a normal activity for these land lubbers.

The wind and tide were going against me from Wavebreak so I decided to get this one first. Had to abandon Patches and walk a fair way across the sandbar to get to GZ

FTF...Yes this our first First To Find. . It was our first geocaching event and what a full yet enjoyable day, and what a way to finish it off. After finding the other two caches on The Ilse of Terror we made the long walk/jog down to the other end of the island as the kayak bandits were in hot pursuit. We quickly found and signed the cache. We took this photo and then headed back up beach. What a great way to end the day. A huge thanks to Captain T and Herbz for making this dark semi-rainy day so memorable.

Sorry forgot to log this cache. Found while attending CITO event. Had a great day.
Thanks Captain Terror

Our third and final of the caches on this Isle of Terror, and the easiest to retrieve. We dodged stranded jellyfish as we headed for the obvious GZ, and it didn't take too much looking to spot it. That accomplished, we then had to figure out how to get back to Wavebreak... TFTC, Captain. =^.^=

Mr Gap was volunteered for this one and he must have had his blinkers on today

a quick grab (eventually) TFTC

It was nice and early today when we headed out with Captain Terror placing these caches, and soon made our way to this spot. A quick check around, and soon decided on a spot for them. A really great area over here, and highly recommended
