On shore after a fresh look this morning. I'll have a mocha with one of the scones I just baked.

Stay well all!

Safely ashore. I feel much better after last week's epic fail. Fairly easy one from Matt imo. Good luck Muggles.

Ashore. Submitted.
Three weeks in the stern garden
Was enough for me!
Good luck to all and stay safe out there

Ashore! We enjoyed this puzzle a lot and really admire its construction. We got started on the right track early on, but it took a while to bring it all together--just long enough to have a round with Isaac before boarding the shore boat.

Pandering to those who have been to Africa?

Solved and submitted. I found the grid more challenging than some recent puzzles, but the meta came without too many rabbit trails. Have a great weekend.

You got it! We did see one there.
Plus, it was the Bing picture of the day yesterday.

Good afternoon. A bit of a late report as I was getting a video edited for a friend.
All is right with the world - Al is on page 1 and all three Beth's are lined up together.
And we have bskptkl as our newest muggle.
We have 2 on the ship and 80 on the shore.
Hopefully I will have some time after a HD trip in a couple of minutes.
Good luck to everyone and stay safe.

JUST as I thought, the in crowd.....
I'm pretty sure that they said, "Oh what the heck, he is likely not going to get it until Sunday if he gets it at all, what's the hurry!"
Looking at my post, and knowing my USUAL group of friends I am surprised I did not get a a TWSS! comment.
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!

Well I have been tormenting myself instead of the artists and have REALLY been down some DrTom holes (deeper and darker than rabbit holes and often lead nowhere even though they look VERY enticing).
As I finished the last of my "healthy" cereal (bran flakes but loaded with fruit and topped with just a bit of honey and pistachios, so maybe not THAT healthy) and composing a WAH WAH poor me PM to send to one of the folks who regularly gives me a directional slap I did a HEY WAIT A MINUTE. I think I may just have an answer. It makes perfect sense given the title and the "objective" and if it is not the answer I'll have to have another ADMONITION party. So I'm going to chew on this a bit as I wait for the release of the MGWCC (which I am already sure I will not get, never have gotten much better than a week 2 or occasionally 3), but hey if you don't enter the race you'll never know if you can finish.

Oops, I lied, I did get the "Sit Down for This" a while back and that was a week 4. Hmm, I guess I need to engrave that on my wall or perhaps even get a tattoo since it is an event I have not been able to repeat.

By the way Bob, if that's a golf course hole depicted in your Avatar I've seen it and the sand trap is a KILLER!Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 1:29 pm Good afternoon. A bit of a late report as I was getting a video edited for a friend.

Oh, no! It’s clever! I’m stuck after step 1, still on the boat.

Fun puzzle. Not really my best subject, but I knew enough.
Back from the real beach and joining the muggle beach party.
