Current Goal

To help ScouterDuck find and hide caches that are on, along, or under water, or on islands. Along the way, to be steadfast and stable, and always make it back to safe harbor.

About This Item

It's not just my geocaching handle and avatar, but I name all my boats for ducks, wild North American types specifically.  This includes the recreational kayaks I use on small quiet waterways, some of which contain geocaches. For almost 20 years, a red Perception Xplorist named Merganser plied the waters of New York, Ohio, Michigan, and beyond with me.  At the end of 2023, I donated Merganser to a Scout troop.  Now a slate-blue Hobie Passport named Scoter will fill that role.  Fair winds and following seas!

The coin itself will reside in my (ScouterDuck's) collection, but will be permenantly associated with my kayaks, either Merganser or Scoter. I will log the coin in and out from all caches found or hidden using these "Geo-Yaks." I will also offer the opportunity to discover to other cachers I meet along the trails and/or waterways.

Edit (2023) - Didn't know it at the time, but Merganser's last find, at least for me. Merganser has been donated to a Scout group, and Scoter has taken her role in my personal flotilla. Fair winds and following seas!
