Geocache Description:



OTR :-On The Rum is a series of 29 caches put out for Piratemania 10 it is made up of three loops and laid out in a way that allows you to choose how you want to do them and how many you want to do.
There are some main roads to cross so take care and stay safe.
Total distance for the whole route approx. 8.5 miles



As sea voyages became longer and longer due to the discovery of the Americas, the issue of stowage length grew into a problem. Fresh water that was stored over a long period of time would become stagnant, so often something would be added to make it more palatable (this includes beer, brandy, wine, etc.). Effectively, the fresh water supply would be a very watered-down alcoholic beverage.

After the British Royal Navy captured Jamaica in 1655, they had a good foothold on the rum market (rum being produced in large quantities in the Caribbean). Since brandy was mostly a French commodity, the Royal Navy switched their sailor's rations from brandy to rum. Also, the rum trade was a large part of the overall economy in that area and, therefore, pirates would have ready access to it.
