"Sailing The S̶e̶v̶e̶n̶Five Seas" (MIDI COMPETITION BONUS)
Here's another bonus meta for you! When @Cap'n Rick won the most recent Crosshare midi crossword contest and chose "The Sea" as the theme for the new contest I thought I should submit an entry both in homage to him as a meta constructor and also to see if I could cram a meta into an 11x11 grid. The answer to the meta is a type of boat.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

That was fun Ben, I was confused at first but I am glad to say the SS Befuddled was able to sail across the gap. I was killed trying to tie it to another "nautical term", a Midshipman from the USNA, also known as a Midi, but in the end it wouldn't hold water.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
