Mitään sellaista sääntöä ei ole olemassa etteikö arkistoitua purkkia saa logata löydetyksi, jos sen tekijä on niin älykääpiö, ettei sitä sieltä saa pois haettua ja lokiin on nimimerkki saatu.

Tässä tapauksessa on tosin huomattava, että tekijä on joku kielivammainen svedupelle, joka arkistoi muinaisina aikoina läjän kätköjään vain siksi, että joku jossain yhteydessÃ¤ erehtyi tuota lähinnä puhevammaa muistuttavaa mongerrusta kutsumaan "oudoksi kieleksi". Nekin purkit lienevät edelleen luontoa roskaamassa.

Geocache Description:

Over all there is safe water all around the spot (if you don´t travel with any tanker or Ro-Ro) - best landing is possible from S.

The cache is dedicated to the memory of Joshua Slocum, who was the first solo circumnavigator and spent the most of his life at sea.

To keep the story short : In Boston, he rebuilt a 11.2 meter sloop-rigged fishing boat that he named Spray (later re-rigged as a yawl after problems he encountered in the Strait of Magellan). On April 24, 1895, he set sail from Boston, Massachusetts. More than three years later, he returned to Newport, Rhode Island on June 27, 1898 having circumnavigated the world, a distance of 46,000 miles (74,000 km).

In 1899 he described the voyage in Sailing Alone Around the World now considered a classic of travel literature. It is a wonderful adventure story from the Age of Sail and a book of which Arthur Ransome declared, "boys who do not like this book ought to be drowned at once"
