Still cruising with Isaac! Might need a nudge to get going...was hoping for a solo solve- that still might be in the wind

Due to college football and celebrating my baby boy turning 30 🥳😳, I got a late start. But, I am firmly on shore! 🏝️

On shore now after I found a trail yesterday which led to an AHA moment today. Another tightly constructed puzzle by Mike.

Oh wow! Did I ever make that one harder than it needed to be?! At last, the light bulb moment - ON SHORE!

Tough grid (for me) but easy swim to shore as Mike’s clues were effective.

Happy to report that I am safely on shore after a relatively quick swim for me (that is, relative to my usual days-long slog, which often leaves me at the bar with Issac).

Ashore after a very busy weekend!

Happy the light (finally) went on in my head! I had to clear away some cobwebs first.

MaiTai, of course.

Gotta love Google translation - replaces the French I forgot since school! ;)

Good Sunday afternoon muggles

A belated status but we have 7 on the ship and 204 on the shore.

Enjoying Isaac and the football games since yesterday are

otlaolap - who was sailing to shore when the tide brought him back to the ship
Colin - who got lost going to France and would up on the ship (I think)

Add me - oh so belatedly - to the shore. You’d have thought I never solved a meta before!

Didn’t think I’d be able to look at the puzzle this week, so glad I was able to find a few minutes… another clever puzzle!
Thanks Mike!
