Having lived on the Coast of Carolina for 20 years, I suddenly found myself landlocked in Tennessee for the better part of the last two years. While there I placed some 40 caches, all named after Jimmy Buffett songs to remind me of the sea until I could return.
Now that I'm here in Beaufort, I've decided to place some caches to celebrate that I'm finally back to the sea, though for how long is anyone's guess as pirates are ruthless these days.
Each cache in this series will be named after a famous North Carolina pirate. At each ground zero will be visible something pertinent to pirates and the sea...see if you can spot it.
Captain Edward Teach, alias Blackbeard, was undoubtedly the most famous pirate of all time. He was from Bristol, England. After a career of privateering out of Jamaica, he went a‑pirating. He first sailed with Captain Benjamin Hornigold, until he acquired his own ship, which he named the "Queen Anne's Revenge." He gained fame by driving off a British man-of‑war in battle. He later joined forces with Major Stede Bonnet. After cheating his own crew, Blackbeard married and supposedly settled down in North Carolina. After his money was gone he went back to sea in the "Adventure." On November 22, 1718, he was killed at Ocracoke Inlet by Lieutenant Robert Maynard.
Some rules of the high seas as you seek this treasure:
- Remember, this is a VERY HIGH MUGGLE area. Stealth is definitely required.
- Bring your own pen. While some of the caches might be large enough for some pirate swag, most will be much smaller.
- Please be careful with the container and replace exactly as you find it or as it was "meant to be placed," and hopefully both of these will ring true when you locate this cache.
Congratulations to Kirk51 for FTF!
