Got a late start this weekend, but I'm on the beach! A pina colada kind of day here!

I feel like Tom Hanks' Captain Miller at Omaha Beach, but I am finally...

Ashore
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Early Sunday morning (2:00am) as I was banging my pen against the folded newspaper with the puzzle, I stopped banging and saw it. 😃 Geez, finally!

I see I was listed as being on shore earlier. I was hoping it was a sign I would eventually make it. (I would have fessed up had I stayed with Isaac but fortunately I made it.)

Mimosa with my oatmeal!!

Ashore! And just missed the noon report...

I do agree that this is 100% and elegant. Like top hat and tails elegant.

Good luck to all and stay safe out there!

Alas, drinking at the bar with Isaac. Have found a few rabbit holes, but no darn rabbit.

Hoping for post-enlightenment.

Still lost at sea but hope to devote some time this afternoon! After being on this forum a while, I gotta ask... who’s Isaac?

Still LAS. (Isaac was the bartender on The Love Boat.) (He keeps the ones of us still on the boat company.)

Ashore! Aunt Norma is still noodling... That G&T sounded refreshing, I’ll have what he/she’s having.

Still aboard. Another week of excitement when a first step seems quite clear and then frustration looking for the next path in the maze.

when we don't have answer, we drink on the boat at the bar w/ Isaac

when we have the answer, we get ashore and go to the Tiki Bar - I guess with Gopher? No one's ever provided that detail.

I believe that would be Mr. Roarke and Tattoo.

The background for a lot of the comments like Isaac, ship, shore, etc are explained on Come Aboard/FAQ Community/Solving resources/ Muggle Overview forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=34

And you will hear about being Pageanted and that is explained on the link Come Aboard/FAQ Community/Solving resources/Being Pageanted

forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=36

Finally you will hear about the KAS scale which was developed and named after Kas DeCarvalho and is explained at Come Aboard/FAQ Community/Solving resources/The KAS scale. forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=35

Hope this helps
