"Show Them The Way" - October 9, 2020

[EVJ]

Got it! Ashore!!
Is that what is called “post-enlightenment”?

[DrTom]

Ok, ashore on what I’m sure will be hard fought ground. I’ll opt for the Oregon, Burgundy or Rhone 43D please. But I’ll gladly have it with some 43D Sea Bass ( or Patagonian toothfish for the purists).

Be hard to socially distance this week, maybe they are trying to lull us into a sense of false security with easier puzzles? Although this one would NOT have been that easy if my first inkling had proven to be wrong. There are more than a few tiger traps in this META

[escapeartist]

Finally ashore.

Thanks 1D for letting me 62A my place here after several weeks trying. 27D happy to be a first time beacher!

There 23A excuses to 6D this up quickly, even from me, a noob.

Thanks all muggles, this is so fun

[FrankH]

My daughter just came back from a regatta and she rowed me to shore.

[Bird Lives]

Thoughts on Coming Ashore

Which winery part had I sat in?
And that baseball bro, was he Latin?
That chemist in the regatta?
I deduce he was not a
Co-star along with Dick Van Patten.

[Streroto]

Just got home, about to start the puzzle. Must get Peter Frampton out of my head.

Right???? I can’t clear my head of it so I can concentrate on this supposedly similar meta...

[Ronaldo]

It's extra satisfying getting the grid and the meta without the help of Google. After a 2 week losing streak, I'll treat myself to a Shackleton whisky, thank you.

That is the Endurance isn’t it?

Yes, the ultimate "made it to shore" story

[Miki]

Got it.
And I like how every week we have to think outside a different box.

Aye. I all too often invoke Worsley's help in navigating the roiling waters to the Tiki bar.

Congratulations and thanks for the great “cluns” (clue puns). I’ll be 42D to try some myself! I just may have to go for sushi tonight and order 13D. 2D all welcome you.

[SewYoung]

Did the puzzle as soon as it came out yesterday. Had one letter wrong and one wrong answer and thought it was the hardest grid I had ever seen. Went back and corrected those mistakes and finished the grid in about 5 minutes. Went down a couple of rabbit holes and gave it up for the day. Woke up at 5:00 this morning, looked a it again and slapped my forehead and swam excitedly to shore.

[Grover]

Ashore!

[BeTheLight]

That was probably the fastest meta solve I've had. Could be just lucky that the first thing I tried worked? Definitely safely on shore.

[mattythewsjpuzzler]

On shore. Isaac, drinks for everyone on me!

[DanA]

On shore! One Pinot Grigio please...

[Joe Ross]

The light finally dawned. I am not a fan. My brain definitely works in a different way. My fault, not Matt's. If I happen to win the mug, this week, it will be the prize for a future MMM of my devising.

Congratulations to all who saw it quickly & best luck to muggles yet to solve!

[LesY]

Ashore after circling the ship for a while. Think I drank all the liquor on the lido deck, but in my defense I did pick up the tab!

Onward to MGWCC, and Happy Weekend to all!
