I was intending to make this a park-n-grab, but the ice at the Pembroke access looked suspicious, so I walked out to the island. Search took longer than it should, and then my batteries quit. (spares were a long windy walk back at the car... good planning eh??) I had already got a good fix so I just expanded my search. Cache was slightly frozen in place, but no real problem for a caching fanatic. TFTC

Ominous clouds were threatening, and an ill wind was blowing no good from the North, but I kept up the hunt. Kept thinking about what I'd say in my DNF post....it wasn't pretty. But my persistance paid off, after an hour, or so. Glad I brought snacks, and a beverage. Now I get to say, "Good Hide"! Thanks for the cache.
BTW - the "O" ring had a blow-out....it's pretty well shot...I'll start carrying them in the future. Log was just a little damp
