Sentinel on Sea (Auckland) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Navigull: I have decided to archive this cache as it is no longer in place.

Quite a story actually.
I received a email from craigkarenmathew who had found the cache container at low tide well out from Point Chev beach cast up on a sandbank.

He diligently set out to research its origin and registered on the geocaching .com website to track me down and advise me of its fate. We might even have a convert. Thanks Craig

I suspect it has been "discovered" buy uncaring muggles and any replacement would likely suffer a similar fate

Geocache Description:

This is a nautical one. Believe it or not, a yacht club supposedly shares this location.
It is situated on the Waitemata harbour and you will need a boat or kayak to get there.

A couple of my earlier caches were set up to allow alternative access by kayak but this one goes a bit further and water transport is de rigueur.

The cache container is a 300 ml cammo-painted plastic container.

14th May 07 Apparently the cache has been found by muggles and is no longer where I placed it. It is now at a higher altitude and a little further west. I will leave it meanwhile see how it fares.
