Geocache Description:


The final cache IS NOT at the posted coordinates. At the posted co-ords you can close your eyes and imagine just to the west of you a few dozen metres, through a blinding blizzard, you see the hulk of the Norwegian ship, The Nandi. Against all odds and at high tide, the Nandi somehow crossed the shallow reef that runs from West Point lighthouse, north approx 6km and is now hard aground. The crew are luckily unharmed but The Nandi must spend the winter in the ice just offshore. The captain and crew return to their homes for the winter months and a local sea captain, Captain Sam Smith and his family move aboard the Nandi for the winter keeping her safe until spring when she can be safely towed back to sea.  The final cache is down a RDR not plowed in winter and just fair in spring, otherwise awesome.

To find the final cache,

Find the total of the digits of the month and year the Nandi came ashore = A(eg: feb 2006=0+2+2+0+0+6=10)

Find the length of the Nandi to the nearest metre=B
