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. Anne Bonny was a female pirate, born in County Cork, Ireland. She was the daughter of a lawyer, who migrated to "Carolina" and became the owner of a prosperous plantation. Anne fell in love with a handsome young sailor and ran away to the West Indies with him. Leaving her husband, Anne sailed on Captain "Calico Jack" Rackham's ship, where she gained fame as a bloodthirsty pirate. Captured, she was tried and convicted of piracy, but there are no records indicating she was ever hanged.
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.
