Geocache Description:


Two Whale Tales

 

Hermanus is world renowned for its whale watching. This quick multi-cache tells the sad tale of two whales, one large and the other small, that came to pay a visit to the watchers and got too close to shore.

At the published co-ordinates you will find a rhyme commemorating the large one. This whale was AB feet long and C feet thick. Proceed to the next stage which is at:

South 34 24.4(A+B)C 

East 019 16.3(C-A)B

 

This second whale was only D years old when it washed up at this spot. It was infected by parasites which the museum collected (and lice). The number of letters in the word describing the parasite is E. The whale was finally placed in it's bed by something that has F letters in it's name.

 

The final cache is a very small lock-n-lock container hidden at:

South 34 24.4(D+E)F

East 019 16.3(F-E-D)D

 

Small trade items only please.
