First cache of todays kayaking trip with SLELLIOTT as we focused on the 2nd third of the series. Fairly easy as we got in the water less than 100m from the cache. TFTC

This one blended in so beautifully that we didnt see it on the branch for a minute or two. As it turned out the branch that Mrs Domsky was holding was Just 10 cm from the actual container.A quick sign of the log, a gentle breeze which was now pushing us back towards the car. We continued our paddle. All good here at GZ. Thanks Team737Domsky Domsky

We came up to Newie again this week for about the third weekend in the last four, this time to attend the [HAVOC Flotilla](https://coord.info/GCAZBVQ) event on the Newcastle harbour which was fun. We decided we might set sail up Cockle Creek after the event which was, obviously, a great idea on a day like this! Today, eldest geokid was skipper of [our water TOTT](https://coord.info/TB9QQJD) while I was tasked with the navigating and grabbing. After waving to the nearby campers on the bank, we pulled in to locate another 737 cache in excellent condition with a nice dry log. TFTC and series, team737.#2065

Easy find

Found with mannering park sea scouts

I have been wanting to this kayak cache series since it first got published. But my sister who lives so close at Teralba no longer has kayaks, so I had to bring one up from Sydney. Glad I did as it was a really nice paddle from the mouth of Cockle Creek on Lake Mac up to the weir, finding and signing 15 caches along the way, then paddling back down. TFTC lee737

nice find. glad we are out of sight of the muggle camper set up down stream.. he is having a good gander. TFTC.

Nice easy park the kayak and grab. TFTC

#7680Ventured north with [@Purplepeopleater](https://coord.info/PR4X0DC) and [@bella at waggy](https://coord.info/PR5DQ4Z) lured by the Cockle Creek series. Met up at the carpark and organised our car shuffle before hitting the water just before 9am with 2 yaks and a SUP. Excellent home made containers.TFTC lee737

An excellent morning with Crash and B@W paddling this marvellously reclaimed creek.All containers were in excellent condition.SL TFTC

28/4 Found on a lovely sunny Autumn day on the water with Mighty Minions & 2pods. Thanks for placing this series of caches here.

Floating down the river on a sunny afternoon ... with the added attraction - and challenge - of spotting the odd cache! Found with Mighty Minions and Goldberry17. What could be more enjoyable! TFTC!

Out caching with 2pods and Goldberry17 today. the weather was brilliant, and the water was very smooth. we had lots of laughs, and I really enjoyed the day. the caches were all found with no problems and in good condition. Thanks for the cache lee737 tnln replaced as found sl

Up for work and had a few TOTT but should have bought more, particularly a yak. Lucky it was low tide but still got a bit wet. A . We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Decided to drag the canoe all the way to Newcastle so had to make good use of it! Did the cockle creek series and a nearby adventure lab today, not sure if the weather is good enough tomorrow. Good quality made for good fun!TFTC Wilbert67

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 13178.A day of paddling with Deni_f and Banj on Cockle Creek this morning. With the tide due to hit high at 8am we made an early start at 7. With two kayaks and one stand up paddle board we covered 11.7km in 3hours 59 minutes. Another great cache in the series, found without issue. I love the effort youve gone to with these containers. Thanks lee737 for the cache.

Find#1878After these caches were published I was very keen to get them with all of the different DT ratings. After Banj asked me, Today was the day. Came out with Big Matt also and had an absolutely glorious day finding these caches. I wish I had 15 favourite points as this was such a fun series to do. Matt had calculated that we paddled a little over 11km and a bit over 4hrs in total at a very casual pace Ill add. Thanks for a great series Team 737. Log and cache in good condition. TFTC

A great day to be out on the water finding some geocaches. Joined today by Big Matt on a SUP and Deni F in a kayak that an extremely nice bloke borrowed for him to use.On the home stretch now, my legs can't wait to stretch out. TFTC

Find No: 9186. Out for a great morning with Yella Belly & shaneo58 , thanks for the cache Team737!!

Launched the old "Yella Belly" today and as I am the Captain I picked up an unlikely crew in shanoe58 as Retriever of caches and Grub Fred as passenger (and secretary) to do the Cockle Creek caches. Well it was a fun trip up the river with nobody falling overboard. caches were well hidden but with keen eyes they were found. Thanks Team737 for the series.

Helped us complete a new square in our statistics grid TFTF

When I saw this series published early last week, I was keen to do them but the heat and humidy, followed by strong southerly winds for the rest of the week and across the weekend, put paid to that. The forecast for this morning looked a lot more promising, with light winds tending north-east around the middle of the day, so I made an early start and hit the water at about 9:30 at the launch point near the railway bridge. My plan was to only do the ones upstream of there, but I noticed #5 was just across the water so thought I'd attempt that on the way back if I wasn't too bushed.Once at GZ I quickly spotted the cache. I like the cache construction, hopefully it'll avoid the moisture problems other caches in such environments seem to have.Thanks for the nice start to my paddle, now on to #7.

And the last one for today. Wonderful. Thanks Team737

[FTF] Another land based assault to claim this FTF. I very got to get a kayak. TFTC TEAM737
