Geocache Description:


You will need a kayak, canoe, SUP, or small shallow draft boat to find this cache!

This cache should be reachable at high tide while sitting in a kayak or canoe.

I paddle here several times a year, and am finally getting around to hiding a few caches. This is a great area for kayak, canoe, or SUP. I frequently see cormorants, ducks, blue heron, and deer, and I've occasionaly seen a bald eagle here as well. Solleys Cove Park features a soft launch with drive-up access for loading/unloading, as well as a conventional boat trailer ramp. There is no fee to park or launch here, and a port-a-potty is available. There is plenty of parking, but it can get busy on weekends in-season. It's almost always quiet on weekday mornings, when I typically visit.

These caches are hidden along Tanyard Cove, south/upstream of the launch. It's about a 2.5 mile round trip to find all of them. For a longer paddle, you can continue down Marley Creek, or cross the channel over to Furnace Creek, where there are a couple of bars and restaurants with paddle-up access. If you head north from the launch, you will come to the Curtis Creek shipwrecks, where there are several more caches to find.

I hid this group of caches at around 2 hours past high tide, using a stand-up paddleboard. I suspect that all of the caches will be findable at low tide, but a couple of them may require some wading (which could get muddy). Check the tides before you visit (link here) so you will know what to expect.
