Guest jaeger Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 I see that the Garrett Island cache has to be accessed by boat. Are there other ones that need to be accessed by water? As an avid sailor this idea appeals to me. Is there any interest in this? I might create some if there is. It would be a nice diversion to go hunt a cache at great achorage on a sailing trip. Pete BTW: I tried to post on this topic yesterday but it didn't show up. Sorry for the duplicate if both show up. Quote Link to comment

Guest Maluso Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 I recently planted Merlin's Quest at a very popular boating destination in the St. Lawrence River. The island is part of Canada's St. Lawrence River National Park and it's quite close to U.S. launching spots. Diane Quote Link to comment
Guest Cache-potato Posted July 12, 2001 Share Posted July 12, 2001 Bought a new canoe back in Jan. GPS shortly thereafter....next logical step...? Quote Link to comment
Guest Irishmike3032 Posted July 14, 2001 Share Posted July 14, 2001 I am also quite new to Geocaching and have wondered the same thing myself. After reading this fourm I think I will plant (or at least plan) a water-cache today. Look for it soon in Central NJ "THE JERSEY SHORE" Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 This is a good topic , so I decided to bump it back up on the list. How about it? Are there any that you know of in the PA NJ NY areas? ----- Quote Link to comment
+Doug & Linda Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 A fairly comprehensive list was started over on the old boards, hereit is. Quote Link to comment
+mtndave Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Buster Island Cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=4237 Water is too high right now but I'll be paddling for this one when the weather gets better. Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 cool - that one is not too far awy from me! Quote Link to comment
Geo-Grumpy Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I am new to caching (one find, but only had the GPS for a week!). Already thinking of placing my first cache, and I think #1 will be on an island in the Susquehanna river. Probably going out this weekend to scout a placement. I am thinking one of the rock islands just South of the Holtwood dadgum. Acessable by canoe, kayak, and small boat if careful. Not TOO far from a decent public ramp. Rocky, so care must be taken. I have the container and contents put together, just need to label it and purchase a lob book. Look for the cache in the coming months. Quote Link to comment
jeepman74 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 The best boat related cache I know of is Paintrock Intruder by Doug Admontis in Tennessee. It's on an island on Watts bar lake in the middle of a wildlife refuge. You will see many sea birds and numerous local wildlife. The island is aprox. 40 acres(big for this area), and is home to a great number of animals. Check it out!

+Snailman22030 Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I'm brand new to Geocaching (only one find to date) but I've got a place in the Northern Neck area of Virginia. That's the peninsula of land between the Potomac and Rapahannock Rivers. It is bordered on the East by the Chesapeake Bay. Water, water everywhere! I have a kayak and a power boat so I'm going to get busy making caches in the area that are accessible only by boat. I would appreciate any input and/or advice that anyone would like to share about getting started. I know.... I know.... I'm reading the forum too. Quote Link to comment

You seem to be on the right track already ... reading, caching, searching old posts that interest you: you are coming at this with a great attitude. Quote Link to comment
+IMLost Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 (edited) You need a boat for Ricketts Island unless your a really good swimmer. This cache was placed after the Red Rock & Rolls event cache. Oh and it's mandatory that you talk like a pirate while doing the cache or you'll have to walk the plank.

+StormShadow Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 There's a cache placed on an island in the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg, PA that hasn't been found since May of 2002. This is on my list of one's that need to be found immediately... Quote Link to comment
+Team OUTSID4EVR Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 My Tuckahoe By Sea cache requires a boat. Some brave cachers have tried it by land and only one has succeeded. Quote Link to comment
+Team Ferret Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Here's one in Corning, NY. Only one finder so far. Chemung Bliss by Gypsy Rex (GCH0CZ) Quote Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 WHAT???? No mention of the Minnow?????? Thanks for the advert! And pooor SpongeBob the travel bug has been there for SO long, too... The log from Tin Abbey is still my all-time favorite log from that cache. Amazing luck. Quote Link to comment
+X Snoopy Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I just added one. Accessible only by boat / kayak: Mariner's Comfort Enjoy! Quote Link to comment
