Thanks to Girts (Chirix) who helped me with maintenance.
Right now too much efforts needed to keep this geocache in good condition. Maybe later it will be re-opened with a new concept.

Geocache Description:

Sis multi-slepnis ir iecerets, lai jus ta marsruta punktus izbrauktu ar airu laivu. Mehanizetie udens transporta lidzekli var iestregt udenszales, bet no krasta pieklusana vispar var izversties par nepatikamu piedzivojumu. Ziemas sezona slepnis tiks slegts.

This multicache is intended to be completed by a rowing boat. Mechanical water transport means might got stuck in water-plants but trying to access the stages from a coast could turn out an unpleasant adventure. The cache will be closed during a winter season.

Kisezers ir viens no lielakajiem ezeriem pie Rigas. Ta videjais dzilums ir 2.4 m, bet maksimalais dzilums 4.2 m. Ezeram ir vairakas salas. Tas ir caurteces ezers, kas agrak caur Langas upiti ieteceja Gauja, bet tagad caur maksligi izrakto kanalu Mangalsala ir savienots ar Daugavu. ZA, A un DA piekrastes posmi ietilpst Jaunciema dabas lieguma zona. Seit atrodas ari liela Suzu kapa un Bulduru pilskalns. Ezera R krasta atrodas Rigas Zoologiskais darzs, Kulturas un atputs parks un Ozo golfa klubs. Kisezera udens ir brunudens. Seit dzivo daudzas Latvija sastopamas zivju sugas, bebri, ligzdo gulbji, cekuldukurisi, meza piles u.c.

Dodieties uz sakuma koordinatem un atrodiet koordinates nakamajam slepna posmam. Noklustot nakamaja posma, jus atradisiet koordinates atkal talakajam posmam. Tada veida jums bus jaapmekle 4 kontrolpunkti, lidz uzzinasiet gala konteinera atrasanas koordinates. Visi starpposmi un gala konteiners ir visertak sasniedzami ar airu laivu. Visatrakie un piemerotakie ir juras kajaki, tikai nepieciesamas nelielas iemanas, lai ar tiem brauktu. Pirms dodieties ezera, parliecinieties par laika prognozi un veja stiprumu: Windguru (spot: Kisezers). Liela veja sis brauciens var klut par izdzivosanas parbaudijumu. Videjais marsruta garums no sakuma lidz finisam un atpakal lidz sakuma posmam pa udens liniju ir ~ 18 km, kas veicami videji 3-4 stundas.

Rekomendacijas:
- Ieplanojiet ka visas dienas braucienu un izbaudiet pilniba ezeru un vilnus, veju un sauli, udensrozes un udensputnus;
- Iepakojiet mantas un GPS udensdrosos maisos, piestipriniet pie sevis vai pie laivas;
- Neaizmirstiet but piesardzigi putnu ligzdosanas vietas, netraucejiet tos, ieverojiet Jaunciema dabas lieguma noteikumus;
- Valkajiet apavus, nekapiet krastos basam kajam;
- Neaizmirstiet lietot pretiedeguma kremu;
- Ja nevelieties braukt ar airu laivu un izbaudit Kisezeru no si skatu punkta, tad sis slepnis NAV domats jums!

Lai veicas!

The Kisezers Lake is one of the biggest lakes near the Riga city. An average depth is 2.4 m but maximal depth reaches 4.2 m. There are several islands in the lake. This is a running-water lake. Formerly it used to flow through the Langa River to the Gauja River. Now it is connected with the Daugava River through an artificial channel in Mangalsala. NE, E and SA coast sections are included in the Jaunciems Nature Restricted Area, where one can see the big Dune of Suzi and the Bulduri Castle Mound. On the W coast of the lake there are situated the Riga Zoo, the leisure complex Mezaparks and the golf club Ozo. The water in the Kisezers is in brown colour. In the lake live many species of fishes, beavers, swans, podiceps cristatus, wild ducks, etc.

Go to the start coordinates and find a container with coordinates for the next stage. Having got there, you will find a container with further directions. Thus you have to go through 4 stages until you get the coordinates for the final container. All the stages and the final one can be reached most comfortably over the water using a boat. Most preferable and quickest ones are sea-kayaks; you just need some paddling skills to manage. Before you go for paddling, be sure you know the weather forecast and wind strength is good enough, check it at Windguru (take a spot: Kisezers). This journey can turn out an extreme adventure for survival if the wind is too strong. An average length of the distance is about 18 km over the water that may be done in 3 - 4 hours.

Recommendations:
- Plan this kayaking as a whole day trip and enjoy the Kisezers in whole its attraction - the lake and waves, wind and sun, waterlilies and water birds;
- Pack you things and GPS in waterproff drybags, fasten them to yourself or to your boat;
- Don't forget to be careful at the birds’ nesting places, do not disturb them, and keep to the regulations of the Jaunciems Nature preserve;
- Wear footwear; do not go on coasts barefooted;
- Do not forget to use sun block;
- In case you do not want to go by a rowing boat, this geocache is not for you...

Good luck!
