Whitebeard

Another piratical quest for Whitebeard, who never turns down a challenge.

When Whitebeard heard I was going Island Hopping he insisted on coming along. He doesn't get out much. I wonder if he's thinking of burying more treasure?
He hasn't given up the hope of finding his wayward crew, the "Pirates of the Carribean." They've recently shown up in Spain, sharing Christmas dinner with a group of geocachers in Barcelona. Right now they are sailing with the Pirates of Poblenou. Will they ever find their way back home to the Hollywood Islands? Or should Whitebeard risk another dangerous voyage in hopes of meeting up with them, who knows where or when?

After a long and mysterious hiatus, Whitebeard was back in his element today!

Aarrgh! This cache has been on my "must do" list ever since it came out, and this turned out to be the perfect day to do it. Jeanne and I were going downtown to meet up with half a dozen close family members, three of whom were to perform at a flash mob. The fact that currently the cache was "not all there" was not going to stop us. So I took a pill bottle and filled it with a log sheet and just a little "pirate treasure" (but no pencil), planning to place it if we were successful at finding the hiding spot.
But once at the starting coords, we just had to stop at the stone faced building (five years since we've been there) and take a quick trip around the world. A few minutes later we were following the north star and doing some serious swashbucklin'.
We loved the way the hints and locations blended in with the story. It all made sense. At every stage we knew we were on the right track, so it was smooth sailin' with only a little bit of head scratchin'. At last we saw the final leg of our journey in front of us, and as anticipated, the unseasonably cool weather had kept nearly all of the muggles away. We got to GZ and I looked around a bit, then placed the cache in what I thought was the best spot to hide it. Not to confuse anyone, but when your swashbucklin' is near the end, there may be a tiny bit of bushwhackin' to be done.
Hours later it dawned on me that while focused on hiding the cache, I think I forgot to sign the log sheet. Oh well, the CO thanked me for replacing the cache and said I should log it. And I say thanks for setting up this most enjoyable letterbox cache. Aarrgh! 🤕

Well look who just came out of the closet this morning...if it isn't Whitebeard himself! 😮 We'd given him up for dead years ago. He must have gotten wind of the treasure hunt we were about to go on today.
Well, his dog tag does have "COPY" engraved on it, so maybe he's just the Son of Whitebeard, but he certainly looks like the real deal.😉 And he has that same look of adventure in his eye. We better bring him along, he may be of some use to us on our quest of the treasure chest.
