Any chance the cache owner can check this one? It has been a very long time since a successful find.
I found the first waypoint, but couldn't find the second.
It was a nice walk on a beautiful day, though. So it wasn't a waste.

Found WP1 quickly but WP2 thwarted us. We poked & prodded. We even climbed up onto the wooden platform thinking it might be up there somewhere. Alas, no joy. Kids look like they use this area so it might have been muggled. We'll keep an eye on it and be back another time.
Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga at 10:44am. WP2 was a little difficult to extract but we did. The walk to GZ was very pleasant on a wonderful Winter's Day. Thanks pirate63 for the help with this cache too. TFTC
Found the first coodinates. Searched for the seacond set without any luck. Did this cache with the Sprakers in tow during an event cache day arranged by Jabes7. Could not find it after searching for about 20 minutes.
didnt find this one at ende of a good event day with rossx4 did find first cord but not the second one.
aaarr!,i did see a pirate this afternoon,it was my granpa!,he be showin' where he hid some of his booty!,thanks granpa.
The tide was out today and unfortunately I didn't see any pirates. Found the cache easily as part of the Cool Kids Caching Competition.

IN : a stress ball
Aaaargh! Thanks Pirate!

Spent about three quarters of an hour trying to find the clue at WP 1, but to no avail. Sad to see the trees in the immediate area have been ring barked or poisoned (drill holes evident). [GPS kept taking me back to the bech seat, but I could find a container or tag of any kind] I will try again in a month or so. Thanks pirate
Loved the puzzles and the beautiful location. Found without too much trouble. Thanksby pirate63
NO LUCK WITH THIS ONE IT GOT TO DARK AND HAD TO GET BACK TO THE TWEED FOR DINNER WILL TRY NEXT TIME ROUND

Went past today to check on and retrieve a geo coin for the owner-did not appear to be logged as such.
Cache is in good condition even though it appears the tide may have lapped up this high-no damage and all is well.

Ran into culture50 while looking for the first waypoint, had a great time trying to find the second clue. In: TB O'le One Eye, Out: Mr Potato Head
Head a good time on this one & meeting a fellow cacher, thanks for a good cache.

Well me hearties Captin feather sword hid them way points nice n tricky.
Me and me ship mates; 15 in all, couldn't find the devils amongst the high seas but twas captin Garner that gave us wind in our sails and little poinitng in the right direction.
We set sail at 1515 and didn't return to port till the sun was a sleep herself. A voyage we'll all remeber......

.
If ever there was a definition of stealth mode we were NOT.
A treasure chest of trinkets we found and swaped at least 9 .

Aaaarrgh, I had a great treasure hunt on me pirate bike today along the smugglers coast of Moreton Bay
At waypoint one the clue revealled itself after a bit of a chase. I found another interesting container nearby which must be something that washed up after falling overboard from a fisherman's tinny. It looked like a cache container, so I rehid it for the next treasure seeker
At waypoint two I admit I thouroughly searched the 'obvious' location before checking the GPS [:o)]
The cache is a real pirates chest of goodies. I took a pirate alarm and left a puzzle to amuse other seadogs
OK one more time AAAARRGH !!

Great walk along the this area of the coast - we loved it. WP2 had us stumped for a while, but we found it in the end. The cache is really quite big and stocked full of great stuff. Took match container and left a stubby holder. TFTC
What a great cache!
We got into the pirate mood as we headed down towards the location for the first waypoint. Gee its a beautiful area down here - I could reallly handle living in this area - oh that's right, I did for 3 years.
The first waypoint was very well camoflaged - so much so that even after telling the kids where it was they still had trouble finding it.
After arriving at GZ we looked and looked and looked for about 10 minutes before the cache revealed itself from a nice hiding spot with reasonably accurate co-ordinates. We took a pirate set and put in a personal alarm and a puzzle-cube. We also took the Crabby Travel Bug.
AGGHHHH!

This one was such fun!!! A beautiful day and great walking weather!!! We had treasure to plunder!!!!! We had lessons to learn - eg. do not trust the 7 yr old GeoKid who says they have looked somewhere and nothing is there. 15 mins of searching by Geo Adults then ... one thought to recheck where GeoKid was told to first look ... Taa Dahhh there is the cache!! Ha Ha Me Hearties - taught those old sea dogs a new trick didn't it!! What fun caches and clues!! Great work - Congratulations on such a fun caching adventure. We left Crabby TB - thank heavens finally for a location by the sea for her!! Took Island Fever TB. Took wallet, CD and money rubber. Left waterproof match container - always good for those wet sea voyages and a plastic travel cup - perfect for a yo ho bottle (cup?) of rum!! Thanks again
Just on dark now can we do this in the dark? yeah me harty's we can, you can't be trickin us you scurvy bilge rats . You gotta remember us Spuds have eyes in the back of our heads. [:o)]AAArrrgh! Thanks you wooden legged parrot carrying pirates for a great cache. Plundered your treasure. Spud Willis
Thanks for the pleasant walk along the water front. Tricky hides along the way.
Found by HOTANDSWEATY.
This cache is well executed and the three waypoints are in very pleasant caching locations. No trouble finding waypoints or solving clues.
I searched the cache high and low for THE KEY, which was the purpose of my journey, but alas it was not to be. Checks back through the logs shows the NANKS as having snaffled it, but not logged it, yet.
I recommend this cache to any Northside cachers who want venture south for the day.

AAAAGGG great hunt & hiding spot too boot. Thanks for a great chase. Took pencil case & marbles. Left the key travel bug pirate patch & money rubber. TFTC.
Yay! My first find as freaky geeky.Excellent hiding spots. Took coca-cola yo-yo and left a tennis ball.TFTC.[^]
Aaaaaaargh! Us Land Lubbers think that daylight is definately our friend. What a difference it makes! The second waypoint that had stopped us in our tracks the other night almost smacked us in the face this time! I don't know how we missed it, even in the dark! A pleasant cycle a bit further and Mumma NANKS and the 2 Geo Kids were at GZ. A find for the 8 year old. [^] What a bounty of treasure! The Geo Boys took ages to choose from the array of goodies. We dropped off a TB and made some swaps. TFTC Pirate, we're looking forward to more in the area.
