Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden on the old St Mary's Boatmen's Association boat Swordfish II. Unfortunately, it's no longer to be found at the quay, so you will need to track it down.


Swordfish II's bow is somewhere on St Mary's. If you're a Scillonian, or a regular visitor, you might already know where it is. If not, you'll have to hope that you spot it while out and about or an easier option would be to ask a friendly local (but please be stealthy with your enquiry). It can be found on a public path and its location is a combination of the back of beyond and the middle of Nowhere.

The replacement container is of less high quality than the original so please be gentle but tighten it fully to keep it as weatherproof as possible and please make sure it is as well attached as possible. We'd appreciate no spoilers at all in logs or photos.


One member or other of my extended family will be lucky enough to be staying within 10 minutes walk of the cache for more than half of the year and will keep an eye on it but please be very stealthy when retrieving and replacing it so that it survives for as long as possible- lots of people still use the boat.
