On shore along with y’all. Fun!

We’re having welcome rain today in Northern California. Probably won’t make much of a dent in the drought but helps prevent another devastating fire season.

On the shore after returning from Disney so I could print this out and look at it. I agree with some inelegance as mentioned by others. But then maybe it was something I missed.

I am either ashore or deep in a deviously constructed rabbit-hole. I prefer to think that I'm ashore.

Hi Muggles- Matt Gaffney’s kids here
He sometimes includes a picture of these 2 in his crossword posts to those of us signed up for his weekly MGWCC
(Sign up if you haven’t!)

Yesterday when I sent in my answer to Matt’s weekly meta crossword (MGWCC),I included at the end of a note to him-

“2 questions-
How are the kids? How about a picture?”
When I checked my email this morning, he had sent me this reply🤗
What a super guy and dad. Thanks Matt! Looking good!

Still pretty far from shore...

Any chance I could call in the Coast Guard to point me towards the cabana?

(I know it's still only Saturday, but I'm swamped tomorrow and won't have time to chase these rabbit holes)

I'm a retired Coast Guard transoceanic navigator from the days long before GPS. PM me. I can mislead you anywhere.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

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!

I'm reporting on shore from just outside of Philly. We were also disappointed with the baseball results, but it was a quick solve earlier today.

Safely on shore! I almost forgot to post, and I'm pretty sure I forgot to post last week, despite solving the meta.

Finally ashore.

Dutifully attempted to make this way more complicated than it was.

Wasn’t instant for me, but I did get there on my own.

It's been quite some time since I've been able to sit down and tackle these, so imagine my surprise when I took twenty minutes this morning and found myself ashore. I missed you all! Anything left to drink?
