Captain CULINARY aerocache

Featured Replies

Something funny between all those so serious Flight discussions !I use the FRENCH version of Flight and flew the "Captain Cook" aerocache."Captain Cook" is translated to "Capitaine Culinaire" , which means "Captain CULINARY" !I landed nearby and walked around the monument. You can even walk on the water with Flight!I signaled the "Capitaine Culinaire" to MS and got the following answer:"Ha that's awesome, as a former chef, I would like to say "thanks for letting us know"... now I should decide if that is amusing enough to leave in or I should put it on the docket to get fixed :)Thanks,Loki, Microsoft Flight Team."Guy

Well, in english the aerocache is called "Culinary Captain", so it's a pun and a clue at the same time. Do you mean that you call Cook "Capitaine Culinaire" in french, or that it's called that in the game?

So in english it's called "Culinary Captain" also !I had thought that the aerocache was called "Captain Cook" in english and that the french traduction was wrong .And in their answer MS seemd to acknowledge this!In any case "capitaine Culinaire" sounds very funny !Guy

I have to admit, I flew that and spent at least an hour trying to find the cache, without success. Your image show it down by the water, Bing said I should look along the road, so that's where I was searching. I'll have to look again.

You are not the only one!I searched also a very long tiime!I think, what you get with Bing is the location of a hotel with the same name.Search in google map for "captain cook monument hawai" !Guy

Yeah that cache is probably the hardest to find in the game. It's activation perimeter is very short.. Once I found it I looked around and said "******* I must've flown past here 30 times"

You gotta fly LOW to get that thing! I found it easily enough, without doing an aerocache hunt, then had to buzz the monument to get it to register.French puts the adjective after the noun it modifies, so while the word order is right, it's also right for the man's title and name. I guess in French it's a double pun!I often thought it was amusing that a man named Captain Cook would name that group of islands "The Sandwich Islands."Hook

I don't think I've actually used Bing to find any of these. I click the button, look at the useless results, then Google it.

And its just behind that hill too :) But I've found it anyways. I think one of the best helps to find Aerocahes are Bing or Google's Maps.

Happy Flying,

Yeah... Bing is useless... lol Google and Wikipedia are my friends!

I found the "Captain Cook Monument" on the shore of Kealakekua Bay. I was searching the coast line from the south, passed over a farm silo " strange" but a good landmark and was just about to turn back south thinking I missed it and there it was. I did not use the Hunter and was flying the Icon really low and slow.
