My brain is a little 22 across. Up most of the night with an ailing dog (he's ok now). Think I'll shelve this one until tomorrow.

I did the grid before I took my nap. Was hoping to wake up and see the solution. No such luck. Just not seeing it, yet.

On shore. Saw this one part way through the grid, but I always finish the grid before claiming victory.

On shore in record time! I struggled a bit with the grid, but the meta was the first mechanism I tried. Fun puzzle!

Is it Thursday already? Didn't get to it until after work, but I'm on shore now, and ready for my Martini and the rest of the weekend. Enjoy, everyone!

On shore. Puzzle solving wasn’t smooth, but the meta was pretty easy.

Ashore! I can't tell whether this was easy or I just got lucky. I could definitely see how this might be hard to spot.

On shore. Trying to solve this one on my phone was like swimming wearing an anchor as a life jacket. Thank goodness for printers.

Shouldn’t be giving anything away, but my husband solved this and tried to explain it to me.. And I’m exhausted. Whoa baby.. I get it now, but at what cost?!

Grid was almost impossible for me. No clue on the meta. These 12 hr days have got to stop.

On shore. Fun -- though disappointed I didn't get here sooner. It's crowded!

I like Mike's pithy clues -- like 10a, 29d, and 31d. He needs so little to be sly.

On shore. I can't believe I got it this quickly. Is it a Christmas miracle? Please, someone, pass the spiked eggnog.
