Logs
Photographed the required info at the airport on the way in, solved the coordinates a couple if days ago, and finally went and collected today (in the rain). Interesting story - TFTC!
Worked out a few weeks ago. Grabbed it on my work visit to the island. SL TFTC.
Time to Go Home. I got dropped off on the way to the Airport to catch our flight back to Wellington to find this one for a clean sweep of 13 out of 13 on Chatham Island. Although the cache wasn't quite where I was expecting it was still a quick find. I suspect the wind blows it about a bit.
We really enjoyed our week here visiting some really interesting places. A big thanks to our Host and Guide Greg. He knows a bit about caching having had other cachers stay with him previously, and was very accommodating with the odd unscheduled stop along the way. I think he would have been disappointed if I hadn't found them all. Cheers GSEL and TFTC

Wonderful surprise trip to the Chathams oh yea!. Made a quick solve while waiting for our local bus to collect from the airport on arrival. Then hired a car and drove to final with Ashe thx. Interesting plague 
. Neat puzzle too.

First find on Chathams! Excited! And one of the furthest possible caches from home I can find! (17920.5 km from your home location)
Solved the puzzle just after landing on 12th but didn't quite have chance to do actual caching during the first days on the island.
Now, just before flying out to Pitt had half an hour to kill waiting for other passengers so it was very convenient to walk after this one
The cache was found in fairly good condition but as mentioned in the previous logs, it seemed that it had been moved around a bit. Replaced by the trunk of that tree.
**Chatham Islands 1/10 done!**
Thanks for the cache and greetings from Latvia!
P.S. I visited not only the airport but Matt "The Pilot's" house as well, and what new thing did I find out - a type of jetpack was invented in NZ, it could fly for 30sec and the lucky wearer had to put **asbestos** pants on not to get his legs grilled

Interesting data. Quick find although it looked like the wind (or humans) had thrown the cache around. Replaced with care against the truck. T4tc
Found before flying out after debriefing Cyclone Pam with some of the community. TFTC
Solved it and found it, while waiting ride back to hotel after daytrip to Pitt Island.
Container first looked like trash, but contents inside were in good condition.
I left some Finnish and Hong Kong coins. Thanks for the cache!
