Geocache Description:

I just got a call from my buddy Roger. Roger is a Flotilla Commander for the Coast Guard Auxiliary out in the San Francisco Bay region. Roger was out near Angel Island (where he has taken us geocaching many times) when he came across a stranded sloop sunk on the rocks.

He noticed that the sloop had a geocaching license plate holder, so he tied his boat to make a careful inspection. He then noticed that there was a note attached Up The Mast. It appeared like the note was addressed to him, but it also had some names and numbers (perhaps phone numbers, but he wasn't sure).

He had no idea what it meant, maybe you can figure it out:

17Roger Echo 586 544 November 294 1007

The terrain rating may be as high as 2* depending on where you park to access the cache. The cache has room for a few small trade items.
