Geocache Description:


The cache is at the posted coordinates, but you must meet the challenge qualifications in order to log a find.

You don't have to own a boat, know how to swim, use scuba gear or even get your feet wet to qualify for this challenge.

Just find 40 caches with wet feet.
For this challenge it means the published coordinates / icon of the cache are in water, at least 100 feet away from shore. This can be puzzles, multis, traditionals, you name it. As long as the geocaching map does not show the published, original cache icon within a hundred feet of land in your chosen map application on the geocaching.com website.

Note that the actual hidden location does not have to be in the water.

Have some fun with it. If you can find a cache on land but the geocaching map shows it in water, go for it. Just make sure it is at least 100 feet away from land on the map. When in doubt just let me know which map application you are using. It should be a map - not a satellite image.
And, of course, actual caches hidden in lakes or the ocean are allowed. So, if you really want to, you still can get wet feet.

To qualify you can make a screenshot of your finds, make a bookmark list or list the caches in your log to name a few options or use a combination of these. Previous finds and archived caches count.

You are welcome to sign the physical cache log when you are in the area before you qualify and post a note on the cache page.

The difficulty rating is for the challenge. The final is 2D/2T.
