Ahoy, Muggles!

Welcome to the middle of winter! Unlike Mrs. Cap'n, who doesn't exactly enjoy colder weather, I kinda like it. To me, there's nothing more satisfying than sitting by the woodstove on a blustery winter evening sipping a nice cab and reading a good book (unless I can be sitting on a beach somewhere sipping a nice pina colada!) :D And that brings us to today's puzzle - "Thoroughly Satisfying" - which will hopefully satisfy your desire for a nice meta, or at least put a smile on your face. I'd like to thank @Abide, @Al Sisti, @Wendy Walker, @boharr, @whimsy, and @Joe Ross for testing and technical help.

The meta answer is a serene and scenic attraction.

What a fun way to start the week. Loved it and I'm off the couch and off to tennis.
