Ocean's Revenge!
This is a
puzzle cache. It is not at the listed coordinates. To obtain
the cache coordinates, please solve the following puzzle.
This cache is part of The Atoz Sequence series.

for more information.
Rather than filling in squares in a grid as the Atoz Sequence final requires,
the final for its Salt Lake City counterpart,
Project Atoz,
relies on a far more difficult mechanism - filling out a complex crossword with
no clues, a limited number of words, and no indication as to where they fit.
Well, here is the revenge of Salt Lake!
To solve this crossword, use the link below - the same applet as used in other
Seawind puzzles.
All 20 words in the puzzle are words related to the ocean. In fact,
"ocean" is one of them!
The other 19 are some of the most common words you could think of associated
with the ocean.
BUT, you don't know exactly what the words are, nor where they fit in the
puzzle!
When you correctly fill out every square in the puzzle,
follow the directions, and you will be rewarded
with the coordinates of the cache.
Have at it and I look forward to
comments!
