King of Buccaneers Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

georockers412: It's been a great two years, but now time to archive the series. There are too many caches missing, too much expense to replace them, and too much maintenance required. I hope you enjoyed the challenge. If you found the completely series, you are in the minority and truly awesome at puzzles and letterboxing!

Geocache Description:

Cache is not at posted coordinates. Final cache location is heavy with muggles during certain times of the day and may prove challenging. Bring your own pen and ink pad.

I was once a privateer (mind you, not a pirate) and I only ransacked for King and Country. Years later, when my engagement in the Queen Anne's War had ceased, I found myself in financial distress. My personal loans had become overbearing, with the issuers seeking payment in one form or another (lawless justice is just one of their methods).

In a desperate need for quick gain, I find myself seated in a darkened corner of the local pub named Teach's Hole. Sitting across from me is a menacing pirate named Blackbeard. One hand rests on a polished flintlock pistol while the other remains concealed under the table. He has ordered us a round of frothy beverages and placed a gentleman's game before me. The bones are unlike those I have seen before, but he assures me that if I can crack the code, I may join his crew of lawless men aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. In few little words and a nod of his pistol, he makes it very clear that if I cannot decipher his maddening game, then I will meet my maker this evening by his own hand.

Once I decode this set of bones, I can find the moored vessel. The ship sets sail at dawn with promises of riches beyond my imagination.

About the King of Letterboxing Series
A letterbox hybrid cache is a cross between a traditional letterbox and a modern geocache. There will be 26 total caches in this series and each will include a custom stamp, specifically made for the cache. You will need to bring your own ink pad (black or red is suggested for King of Buccaneers). Use our stamp to mark your own notebook or journal. Feel free to stamp the logbook with your own, personal stamp. Please do not remove these stamping items from the cache. Learn more about the series by reading our blog.

FTF congrats to renruts, red k, and nerd and jock!

TOP SECRET CODE ENCLOSED! Inside this cache you will find one of 25 clues, printed on a narrow strip of laminated paper, needed to solve the final King of Letterboxing. Please do not remove the clue from the cache. Please do not share the clue with your best caching buddy. Copy the text (case is very relative) into your puzzle solving notebook and save it for later. If the clue is missing from the cache, please let me know so that I can replace it. If you already found this cache prior to publication of the final letterbox, email me for the top secret code.
