Geocache Description:

Cap'n Thirteen's Lost Doubloons


Avast! Draw nigh! Listen close, ye loons!
Whilst I spin ye a tale of lost doubloons!
Stashed here long ago by Cap'n Thirteen.
But wiry be ye, they can't be seen!

Tho I hear tell they rest nearby
ye must divine where they may lie.
For all that's left of Thirteen's map
is this scrawled hastily on a scrap...

Fair winds to ye, lads! Lassie's too!
Cap'n Thirteen's trove.. 'tis here! 'tis true!

If ye lack image abilities on your sextant or spyglass (BlackBerry, iPhone, etc.) and cannot read the map scrap itself, the paper map scrap has upon it scrawled these words by Thirteen himself, they was:

From unhewn mast tall and lank
Thirteen paces walk ye the plank
When 'crost the brook stride through the wood
Thirteen times six pace off ye should
Then thirteen irons in a row
Starboard next, thirteen to go

Signed.... Captain Thirteen

NOTE: The coordinates listed are the starting point for the treasure hunt and one must follow Cap'n Thirteen's directions to find the treasure chest.  Have fun!
