Geocache Description:


A grand 'ole cache be at th' posted coordinates. Plunder by the evil pirates tuppArrrrrrrgurl an' crackArrrrrrrrrjackie an' =Ge-HoJoe= in honor o' th' 2019 Cache Like a Pirate VII (7th Annual) event. Arr, me hearties n'er be findin' th' loot!

When bad weather was imminent, a pirate ship's wooden hatches were covered with tarpaulin and long wooden slats called battens were fastened to the sides of the hatch to keep the tarpaulin in place. The battening of hatches helped to keep water out of the below-deck areas of the ship.

The cache is not below the hatch, so do not attempt to open it. You will find the cache exposed to bad weather
