Geocache Description:

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale

Tune in daily, only 9am to 4pm. This is a 3 episode story, with a total run time of 10 to 15 minutes. Just sit right back (in the easy chair of your car) for the first 1 or 2 episodes.

Make corrections to the compass binnacle to stay on course for the next waypoint.

N37 32.890, W122 20.197. Episode 1: Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.

What was the outcome of that 3 hour tour? Go to the posted coordinates and discover the tragic consequence. The north face of the marker has 5 pairs of dates (including 6/15/1848). Mary(Ann)’s name is at the top... What was the year of her departure?

2819-YYYY=.AAA

N37 32.AAA, W122 20.257. Episode 2: The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed.

Look for the harbor buoy, a sparkly black marker with an obliquely sliced top. Here ‘Sea Ray’ lies at rest... What year was that?

2850-YYYY=.BBB

N37 32.BBB, W122 20.249. Episode 3: Set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle.

Uncharted land, where the sea chest finally landed on the outside of a rocky reef. The chest measures 1 x 5 x 8 inches. Bring a pen to mark charts. Also bring a coconut shell and some gum wrapper foil, to make a shortwave radio.

So this is the tale of our castaways, they're here for a long long time. Gilligan, the Skipper too, the Millionaire, and his Wife, the Movie Star, and the rest...

Reality check: St. John’s is exemplary, yet quite unique amongst locations of this type. It is an island of serenity and peacefulness.

Hint: Three of the photos are useful for mid-course navigation.
