Good Sunday morning muggles. Some progress to the shore but not a lot. Maybe muggles were enjoying the PGA Championship yesterday and were thankful that they were in Isaac's warm dry bar rather than watching in person.
We have 5 on the ship and 184 on the shore.

Ashore! Little nudge from my daughter who just confirmed I was on the right track (or road)!

I think I've found my way ashore this week! Fun grid and key clues!

Let's make it three weeks in a row having a grand old time with Isaac. Tried swimming a couple different ways but must have only been paddling with one arm. I fear without a life raft I am sure to drown with another attempt.

I resemble that remark! So I clicked "like" as I chuckled. But I hasten to add that I am NOT agreeing with your self-assessment. We all get stuck on metas sometimes, and there's no rhyme or reason to it that I can see. Sometimes they're easy, sometimes... you're just not on the constructor's wavelength.flamingbear wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 1:20 pmNo, apparently I still suck here.ship4u wrote: ↑Sat May 20, 2023 4:19 pmI'm sure that you meant to type "stuck".

It was a long (and hard) road, but I got there. Just arrived at the destination. Ashore.

Spent too much time talking to Isaac yesterday rather than swimming to shore. But I made it today.

Been hanging out with Isaac all weekend - and having a great time - when I decided to have one last look and somehow it just clicked and am now safely ashore. See you again Thursday, Isaac! One more G&T to wrap up the weekend!

Definitely where I am this week! I'm so disappointed that my solving streak may come to an end with this one. I just keep staring at it...

Had a list of "things I tried", but nothing seemed to work. Reached out and shared what I had with a fellow muggle and found out that yes, indeed I did figure out the right step, I just didn't follow through. Ashore!

Remember Last Call with Isaac in the Muggle Zoom Room tonight at 8 pm Eastern. We'll be there to help or just have a fun conversation!

Ashore with some guidance from @DrTom. It wasn’t such a long road after all!

Ever have one of those "grid done Thursday, still lost at sea Sunday" weekends? How about "check engine light caused by 3 cups of sunflower seeds beneath the air filter" weekends?
