I am on shore. I was AFRaid that, after a few easier weeks, this puzzle would be signifICANtly more difficult. Even so, DARned if I failed to make page one. There are just too many people fasTER than I! I will have an amarula after dinner.


It took me longer to figure out how to say this ^^ than it did to solve the meta! :roll:

Ashore. First a Wednesday football game, then a Thursday solve - what a strange week!

Good health and happy solving,

I’m on the beach. Sometimes you see/consider what you need to and sometimes you just don’t. Thanks for friends here.

Dom texted “This grid is kicking my (paired male body parts)”.

I hadn’t tried yet, but I love a tough grid. This one was hard to find a toe-hold, but once established, it went pretty quickly. I had an idea of how the mechanism might work and I was right! On shore! I beat Dom for the second week in a row. Look out, Joe DiMaggio!

Just downloaded the grid -- checking in to see what I'm up against. Hoping it's as straightforward as the commentary suggests. Thirsty!

Well I'm having a drink for now. The important bits seemed obvious even without the hint but it's not manifesting a solution for me...

On shore. I know you're not supposed to say this, but that was a breeze.
