Geocache Description:


Thar's an old tale bout a Spanish galleon that got lost in False Bay, and the treasure that disappeared with it… After weeks of being trapped... the supplies were runnin' low, wit da crews frustration runnin' high... and a mutiny ensued. The captin was locked up, but in the middle of the night, he and a wee band of men tookst a boat, and rowed toward the only island they could see through the thick fog. With them was a treasure chest, containing all the gold, jewels, and futuristic treasures the galleon had pilfered throughout the years. Once on the island, they had “no worries”, and the name Shaka Island was born. The captain had his men bury the chest, and then promptly executed his crew, so no man could tell of the location. All the men were buried in shallow graves, but one man made a swim for it, and the sharks got the lad… so they say...

But, thar be an old story of the locale... If ye stand on a cliff, on the most westerly side, looking east, ya find a blue dome in the sky. Ye center the dome, on a green sign thars an 8, line the two up, and yar luck will be great. If ye take 6 paces, towards the shrine, and yar blessed enough, ye find a box made o' pine... But once again… tis just a tale...

If yar lucky enough to find the case, just undercover the top, and leave it in place. Ye can walk to the island, but best be advised, to go on the low side of the tide.
