Grid easy, meta not so much. Of course, at first I didn't read the clue properly and was looking for multi-word answers in the grid. Doh! Still time to get ashore, but may stay afloat another week, sigh.

Good Sunday afternoon muggles. In the words of my wife "why can't every day be like this" - upper 70's, low humidity, bright puffy clouds and a cool breeze.
First we welcome a couple of our newest muggles - Edward Brading, and dk letter
It has been a busy 24 hours - we have 11 on the ship and 148 on the shore - wind surfing, swimming or being towed there, all arriving safely
new to the ship are

and making their way to the shore are
NuYear68

I'm still on the ship - I put this down for a couple of days, hoping that fresh eyes would provide some enlightenment, but no luck. Would appreciate a small nudge if anyone would be so kind.

Ashore, as has been suggested, sometimes it helps to walk away to return with fresh eyes.

Oddly enough, I've actually had some post "nudge request" enlightenment. Sometimes just explaining where you are helps you find new things!

Add me to the ship's manifest. I got the answer but only because of a nudge strong enough to send me overboard.

Happy, lazy, Sunny Afternoon Bob 27D!

Done (Thu) and done (a couple of hours ago).
That first step was quite the struggle for me, and so were the rest.
Sounds like a broken record, but, again, magnificent construction.
Stay safe everyone.

Ashore and happy to be here. That putting a puzzle aside and coming back later for a fresh look really works (sometimes).

I'm on a beach, pretty sure it's the correct one.

Safely ashore, enjoying a delicious Languedoc-Roussillon red.
I finished the grid quickly and made it through the next step soon after that on Friday. But it took fresh eyes today to work through the rest of this brilliant meta.
Cheers, all!

People saying “humorous” were worrying me, but I think I see that now too!
