Got a late start this week but made it to shore with a kind nudge.

Have been LAS all weekend. I finally see something but I haven’t pulled it together yet. Sister-in-law has been goofing off all weekend. She is finally getting serious about this. We are running out of time. I hope the meta dawns on us soon!

Caving...I’d appreciate a nudge. Maybe I can get 1/2 credit.

I am on shore with S-I-L. It’s a good thing she came to my rescue. I couldn’t have done it without her. Two heads are better than one indeed! She reports she was drinking a Sangria while we texted back and forth across state lines to double-team this 100%er
Good luck to anyone still trying to come in under the wire!

"One final administrative piece of advice - after the initial submissions, I do my updates by starting with the last submission and working backwards until I get to where I run into people I have entered as ship or shore on the spreadsheet. If you edit your post to say you are now on the shore, I may or may not pick it up. My suggestion when you go from the ship to the shore is to create a new post. Thanks"

So... are these based on what people claim? Or do you actually check there responses and tally who has it correctly?

I ask because I've been submitting responses by email for a few years and, to be honest I've always been worried that they were just going out into the void to nowhere as there doesn't seem to be any confirmation that a submission is received.

So I wonder how the submissions are kept track of.

For statistical purposes, it doesn't look like you have me on shore

Submitted a hail mary

Marion and I are late arrivals on shore - but we got there!! Add us to the List of Distinction.........

Looks like Marion and I made it an even 100 on the shore!! Good luck to all................

Hey LadyBird or other aviaphiles, what is this? (Today in SF, maybe fleeing from the ash all about.)

I’m no expert, but I’ll guess that it’s a green heron or similar.

Its a night heron.

Lost at sea and nudgeless. Still on the boat this week.

Could well be [a green heron or a night heron]! Have never heard of them, but the description on Wikipedia sounds accurate. For sizing, here's a bigger crop. Regular dog bowl (for no obvious reason, maybe wounded duck?) and a duck-sized white bird.

(Sorry, file too big; about the size of a small duck.)

It's a Black-crowned Night Heron. At least I'll get one answer right tonight! Is the ash from forest fires?

It's not happening for me this weekend. I gave it one last try and I just can't see the path. 12 minutes until hindsight time

I decided to abandon ship and threw up a Hail Mary
