Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled "Water You Looking For?" by Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week's contest is the two grid entries, totaling 10 letters, that would make a good fifth theme answer.

Good luck with the grid and the meta.

Got it--- no water spoilers please!

On the beach. The cabana boy says we do not have to leave the beach just because there’s a big ol' thunderstorm coming. It'll pass. He also says there are dolphins off shore. Where’s my margarita?

On the beach, baby! In California this week, so too early for a cocktail. Just a latte, please.

Solved! I got on a train last night in 32D and am struggling with the onboard WiFi. Almost to Berlin, 26 hours later. (Also struggled with the time zone and knowing when the puzzle would drop.) 😅

Hope I'm on the right shore! Didn't seem like an absolute lock but pretty sure.

Edit: Also for the first time (I've seen people complaining about this previously but hadn't run into it myself) I had to log into my WSJ account in order to do the puzzle online. I don't have a WSJ subscription, but my free account seems to be good enough for now!

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Ashore! (I think...)

Edit: After conferring with a couple of Muggles, I'm definitely ashore.
