This cache was originally called "Gone Fishing".
Try as hard as I could, I really couldn't utilise the original theme as the major part of the puzzle had disappeared when a company went under!
Therefore the theme has changed.
Before anyone complains and says that this should be archived and a new one started, there is more than one reason for doing this.
Please note: the cache and the cache contents have NOT changed.
The terrain and difficulty rating have not changed either.

Please feel free to email me if you don't have a clue!

I want this cache to be found!


Please note: Internet Explorer users are at a distinct advantage (grrrr)


The co-ordinates at the top of the page are for a handy carpark, you may find this useful but its not where the cache is located.

All the information to complete this puzzle is on this cache page. You will need to work out which parts to use and which parts are just handy information.

*** Please don't disclose any clues on how you cracked this puzzle in your logs ***

The final Co-ordinates are:-

N 51° 46. SailSailSail
W 000° 33.SailSailSail

The final location has some thorny bushes, so I would suggest you wear good shoes and long trousers. I would take some gloves as well.

Transatlantic Catamarans

The first electric catamaran to cross the Atlantic has zero emissions!

Waypoint - a Lagoon 410s2 with Electric Engines

In 2003, the first electric catamaran to cross the Atlantic used no fuel at all on the main ocean-crossing leg. The Lagoon 412S2 used twin 12hp engines. An inventive system caused the electricity used by the engines to be regenerated through the sails. One of the problems in the transatlantic voyage was that at one stage, the batteries overcharged which meant that the captain had to run the heating system and air conditioning flat out!

More information about this can be found from Solomon Technologies Press Release

Information about the owner's experience of the electrical regeneration can be found here
