Some puzzles get better with age
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Solved! I was on the doorstep this afternoon but couldn't get my foot in the door. Or something. Picked up the puzzle again this evening, knocked down the door in about 3 minutes.

Very satisfying - made it to shore/off couch/to starship. Cleverest reuse I have seen and nifty mechanism. It all ties together nicely. Now granted I got in the weeds a bit because of the old "haste makes waste" or rather "haste makes unintelligible answer" but a head slap from Bird Lives solved that.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

I’m so glad I didn’t find this coincidence the first time around. I am out of the box.

Other than the SHOFER (is that a horn that blows when a car is driven?) what is the Easter Egg - or does that ruin the META?

The Easter Egg won’t make sense unless you have the meta.

Guess I'll have to look closer because I got the META, just need to pay more attention.

Off the couch. I was on the right track, but took a long time to finish the last step.

It should be obvious to even a casual observer that any similarity between me and the genuine Cruise Director is purely coincidental.Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 11:14 amJay

Well if you both write books about your experience in this endeavour, would they be considered cruise missals? I mean they would be likely to have a mass effect....

And some ages get better with puzzles! (for example, this Covid age has CERTAINLY gotten better with puzzles!)
