WAYPOINT 1 (published coordinates):
At the published coordinates you will find a prominent 6 digit number. Use this 6 digit number to calculate the coordinates for Waypoint 2 using the following formula, where ZZZZZZ represents the 6 digit number:
S 3X° XX.XXX' E 17Y° YY.YYY'
XXXXXX = (3 x (ZZZZZZ - 60000)) + 20431
YYYYYY = (2 x (ZZZZZZ - 20000)) - 38210
WAYPOINT 2:
At Waypoint 2 you will find a prominent 6 digit number. Use this 6 digit number to calculate the coordinates for Waypoint 3 using the following formula, where ZZZZZZ represents the 6 digit number:
S 3X° XX.XXX' E 17Y° YY.YYY'
XXXXXX = (3 x (ZZZZZZ - 40000)) + 13784
YYYYYY = (2 x (ZZZZZZ - 35000)) + 12968
WAYPOINT 3:
At Waypoint 3 you will find a prominent 6 digit number. Use this 6 digit number to calculate the coordinates for Waypoint 4 using the following formula, where ZZZZZZ represents the 6 digit number:
S 3X° XX.XXX' E 17Y° YY.YYY'
XXXXXX = (2 x (ZZZZZZ + 80000)) + 33134
YYYYYY = (2 x (ZZZZZZ + 40000)) - 25307
WAYPOINT 4:
At Waypoint 4 you will find a prominent 6 digit number. Use this 6 digit number to calculate the coordinates for the Final using the following formula, where ZZZZZZ represents the 6 digit number:
S 3X° XX.XXX' E 17Y° YY.YYY'
XXXXXX = (2 x (ZZZZZZ + 50000)) + 26339
YYYYYY = (3 x (ZZZZZZ - 95000)) - 59746
This cache is meant to be a bit of a challenge. Please respect the integrity of this multi-cache and do not divulge to others the waypoint clues or coordinates or the location of the final. None of the waypoints or the final cache are in particularly difficult terrain and if there was no island hopping involved, it would likely have a 2 star terrain rating.
Although an entirely optional request, since it is highly unlikely anyone will complete this multi-cache in one day, we'd really appreciate if you could log notes to the cache page to record your progress through the waypoints. So if you have found a waypoint, or a couple of them, but you can't go any further for the day, please log a note and let us know where you got up to!
Please do NOT spoil the fun for others by including spoiler information in the logs, such as where you had to go to complete this cache. We reserve the right to delete logs containing spoilers, but you'll be welcome to re-log without the spoiler information.
