The perfect cache for the cruise ship cacher....

On the evening of September 12, 2004 Hurricane Ivan's leading winds began pounding on Grand Cayman. Some 36 hours later, after the sea had almost completely inundated the Island, and after the winds which had reached speeds in excess of 200 MPH finally diminished, we awoke to a devastation that none of us could have imagined.

This cache is named the "Spirit of Recovery" as it is the first new cache on the Island since the storm. From the cache location, as you look across the harbor you will see our Port Authority docks, which even today are still working around the clock bringing in building supplies, cars, trucks, furniture and appliances.

This is a micro cache that contains only a log book (not even a pen or a pencil!) and hopefully will test your abilities to think outside the box. It is in plain sight, you do not have to dig or lift anything to find it.

Good luck and enjoy your day in Grand Cayman, and if you want to hear a good story, just ask anyone...."where we you during the storm?"

Good luck!

Please write very small on the log (names only preferable)! This is a very popular cache, and it is hard to replace the log. It would be nice if it lasted for a while. Thank you!
