Geocache Description:

**  DO NOT GO TO THE LOCATION VISIBLE ON THE MAP  **

You must solve the puzzle for the container coordinates.


***CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!**

 

You won't need to read any of the books in the Jacky Faber series to solve the puzzles in this cache series. A simple search will answer all the questions, which are related to many of the factual places and events the author, L.A. Meyer, used.

 

Useful Knots

While serving on a warship, there is lots of down-time.  “The Wasters” tend to use it to stir up trouble.  A good “seaman” (or sea-girl posing as a Ship’s Boy) uses it to find a Sea Dad willing to teach them the ropes, so-to-speak.  Tying many knots is yet another skill that will come in handy the rest of her life.
