John Harrison Geocoin (Marine Chronometer)

ENG: As this geocoin is connected to the navigation and sea travel its goal is to visit "water caches". So please take it to the caches near oceans, seas, dams, lakes or rivers if possible. Please don't hold it for a long time, "NON-water cache" is better than to stay 2 months in the hands of one geocacher. On the other hand please don't drop this geocoin into badly hidden, remarkable caches where it could be stolen easily. Rather keep it for while looking for a safe cache. Please take pictures of the coin by the water ;o) Thnx...

CZ: Protoze se geocoin vaze k navigaci a namorni plavbe, je jeho cilem je navstivit co nejvic "vodnich kesi". Berte ho prosim do kesi pobliz oceanu, mori, prehrad, jezer nebo rek. Nemejte prosim geocoin prilis dlouho u sebe, "NE-vodni kes" je lepsi nez aby cekal v necich rukou 2 mesice. Na druhou stranu prosim neumistujte geocoin do spatne ukrytych, napadnych kesi, kde hrozi jeho ztrata. To ho mejte radsi u sebe v bezpeci delsi dobu. Prikladejte fotky coinu u vody ;o) Diky...

ENG: This geocoin is the tribute to John Harrison (1693-1776) who invented the marine chronometer (the H1 Chronometer). Long-sought and critically-needed key piece in solving the problem of accurately establishing the East-West position, or longitude, of a ship at sea, thus revolutionising and extending the possibility of safe long distance sea travel in the Age of Sail.
