Caribbean to Carolina #10 - Pirate Basilica Hands Traditional Cache
Nat Sherman: Thanks to everyone that found this cache over the years. It was one of the first ones I placed in the Pirate series when I moved to the Crystal Coast in 2013. It has gone missing too many times to count so archiving it now.

Having lived on the Coast of Carolina for 20 years, I suddenly found myself landlocked in Tennessee for the better part of two years recently. While there I placed some 40 caches, all named after Jimmy Buffett songs to remind me of the sea until I could return.
Now that I'm here in Beaufort, I've decided to place some caches to celebrate that I'm finally back to the sea, though for how long is anyone's guess as pirates are ruthless these days.
Each cache in this series will be named after a famous North Carolina pirate. Pirate Israel Hands, also known as Basilica Hands, was the sailing master for Blackbeard. After the death of Blackbeard, Hands was captured in Bath, North Carolina. He was tried for piracy in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1718, and convicted but later pardoned. When last heard of he was begging on the streets of London.
Some rules of the high seas as you seek this treasure:
- Remember, this is a VERY HIGH MUGGLE area. Stealth is definitely required.
- Bring your own pen. While some of the caches might be large enough for some pirate swag, most will be much smaller.
- Please replace exactly as you find it or as it was "meant to be placed," and hopefully both of these will ring true when you locate this cache.
Congratulations to Frank n Beck on another FTF!!
