Geocache Description:

A quick two stage search in beautiful Lowry Bay, with some local history learnt along the way. Can be a busy place so stealth may be needed, particularly on the weekend. If you visit on a Saturday, you may be able to buy some fresh fish (depending on catch) right off the trawler that berths at the nearby wharf. They'll fillet it for you, too. :D

At waypoint 1 (given above) you will find how many years ago the barque arrived, and how many tons it weighed. The treasure is hidden at South 41' 15.ABC East 174' 54.DEF where ABC = the years + 538 and DEF = the tons + 140.

The cache is a one litre Sistema container in a black bag. Please replace exactly and disguise well as this is a high muggle zone.
