Puzzle solved. Meta grokked, I think. Back-stroking lazily ashore while contemplating the clouds above as they pass in a panoply of pleasant pageantry. Hmmm. Where have I seen that last word before? ... 😜

Arrived ashore pretty confident that my answer is correct. If they have a Guiness from the brewery in Dublin, I’ll have one of those. Otherwise, I’ll have a Sam Smith oatmeal stout.

Wow! Only been beaten by about a dozen people. But I'm new at this. And my answer could be wrong.

90% sure I'm ashore. If not, a valiant effort.

Update: 100% sure.

Definitely heading toward shore...I see a solid mechanism and a first step; just have to figure out how to flip that into a step 2....

Just the right amount of resistance. Good, easy-ish way to start the weekend. On shore. No magic coffee needed.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
