Geocache Description:

Ahoy mateys, get your dinghy out and go on the South Holston Seas. Yes, you ain't that good to swim so unfurl the sails and wait for a favorable wind.
The Family Crest

The old Captain Kid (Konnarock, that is) has done it again. We sank a British merchant ship and after making the survivors walk the plank we buried the booty on The Whale's Backbone Island. Now listen hear you land lubbers, there ain't no whales backbone on the island but just after you drop anchor there is an old tree just laying there that looks like one!

The old Captain wouldn't horns waggle ye, it's thar and just ready for the takin'. From whar you drop anchor, it's 'bout 510 feet up to the treasure. You should be a droppin' the anchor on the east end of the island. Otherwise you'll run aground and become another ghost ship. The treasure chest is a camo-painted ammo box. There is a little bush whackin' at the start and a bit of a climb but it ain't too bad. Arrrgh, and old woman or the little 'ens can do it after you help them up the bank. Watch out for the big, nasty old wharf rats!

Me Pet Cat

The treasure chest is full so trade up or even or we'll be a watchin' and soon you'll be a visitin' Davy Jones locker. Put the treasure chest back whar you'd found it or you'll be doing the dance the hempen jig.
