Geocache Description:

THE COORDINATES ARE NOT THE LOCATION OF THE CACHE. It is not in the middle of the lake or underwater, although it is nearby. You must decode the clues below to find the cache coordinates. The cache container is a cammoed box I won in an RCGDS raffle, about 7x5x2 inches. Good luck shipmates!

From your lookout post you see a vessel signaling you that is in distress. Its crew cannot speak your language and had to resort to international forms of signaling to communicate their message. You must quickly decode their urgent signals before they drift away and can't be located. Please send help before it's too late! They have a valuable cargo aboard and will reward you handsomely if it can be saved from sinking to the depths of the lake.
