Pofe: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks,

Geocache Description:

Well, not quite no walking, but cache is located on an uninhabited (by humans) island, open to the public and also the site of a nesting area for the birds

Located on Cockenoe Island in the Norwalk Islands. Launch from Cow Pasture Park boat ramp($15.00 per vehicle day use fee). Open water paddle on Long Island Sound. Cache is a tupper ware container located under a tree. You'll see the light from it!

When seas are calm and the weather is good, the paddle can be done in an open boat like a canoe and sight navigation makes finding your way no problem. I've taken a 7 year old daughter, who is a capable swimmer, in my canoe on nice days. Paddlers can leap frog from island to island. In poor weather conditions and rough seas be prepared. Closed deck boats, charts, compass, safety gear and the ability to use them are necessary.

We paddled out on an questionable day. Skies and visibility were acceptable on the way to the island. While stashing the cache, some weather came in requiring us to paddle almost 2 miles across open water on bearing.

Paddle distance varies with course, but is about 7.5 miles round trip from Cow Pasture lanuch.

Thanks to JV for paddling with me while hiding the cache.
