Geocaching in the Caribbean

[Cachecruiser]

Cachecruiser, DW and I will be on FOS in eary June. I was wondering when you are sailing. I was thinking it would be fun to set up an event cache on one of the piers.

We're sailing in November. Too pity, because set up an event together sounds funny.

 

We hope to find at least one cache in each port. But this seems to be difficult in some of the ports, for example in Falmouth. There is no cache in the port area, and we still have no plans what to do the day, so maybe an event could help?! There are many ships in port that day, that will increase the chance any geocachers will attend. ;)

Does anybody have any new experiences to share? Thanks. :)

I scored one in Falmouth within the gated area. Some years ago, but did it.

Oh my...I will not share this info with my husband! He's an avid geocacher, and we stayed on the ship last week in Falmouth.

Fire Departments, pictures and you may get a patch from some. Fire Depts are everywhere.

There is no geocache within the gated area in Falmouth. This would be against the guidelines of Groundspeak. We tried to publish an event in Coco Cay but the reviewer didn't allowed this. Because this is an exclusive, private area by the cruise line and only accessible to cruise ship passengers, so others couldn't attend. He said we have to find a spot not on a private island nor on restricted cruise docks that is accessible to all geocachers (Local geocachers, geocachers arriving by plane, etc.) not just cruisers. In my understanding this applies to Falmouth too.

There was one within the gated area but new construction was built over the site. There are about 50 logs from folks who found or attempted to find it in the Summer of 2012. :)
