Geocache Description:


No pictures/spoilers of GZ or container, please!

A long time ago, as early as the 16th century, a pirate crew had set sail in search of treasure. An experienced captian and his crew of 8 prepared eveything they would need to face the dangerous waters ahead of them, and soon they hit the waves. 

Day after day, the pirate crew sailed, until eventually they had made their way to a beautiful island with an even more beautiful waterfall. Like any good pirate, the captian ordered his crew to anchor the boat and journey behind the waterfall

Their torches lit, the captian led the way behind the falls, his crew following behind. As the crew continued to explore behind the falls, suddenly, the first mate called "Captain! Have a look at this here wall! There's something etched in it, I tell ya!"

The captian turned around and observed the carvings on the wall with the torchlight, only to see what looked to be ancient ciphers along the rock

"Aye captian, whaddya reckon this means?" his crew questioned

"Tis a puzzle to solve for treasure! Have a look around, crew, see if there be any clues!"

After only a few moments of searching, and the captian discovered a piece of paper hidden under a rock with the following:

 

The crew became uneasy. "Captian, are ye sure this isn't a trap placed to collect our gold?"

The captian laughed. "Yarr, leave it to me, scallywags! There has yet to be a puzzle that yer captian can't solve."
