Geocache Description:


Pirates Lore: The History of the Eye Patch

A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to adventures on the sea.  The Seaman notes that the Pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch.  The Seaman asks "So how did you end up with the Peg Leg?"
The Pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept over board in a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."
"Wow!" said the Seaman "What about the hook?"  The Pirate explained "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords when one of the enemy cut off my hand".  "Incredible!" remarked the Seaman. 
"How did you get the eye patch?"  "A seagull dropping fell into my eye" replied the Pirate.  "You lost your eye to a seagull dropping? the sailor asked. "Well......," said the Pirate, "..it was also my first day with the hook." 

You will find this poor Pirate's parts scattered along the Slocan Pools Trail. We have no idea what set the little fellow off.  Did someone plunder his treasure?
Help put him back together and he may reward you with a small piece of treasure - or perhaps just a smiley.  He may even do a "little jig" for you. 
You are looking for a disguised small pop bottle blank.
