Celebrating on the beach with a glass of Hercules Mulligan. I was super skeptical of a cocktail in a bottle, but I thought it was excellent. It's a mix of rums, ryes, bitters, and ginger. I'd recommend it if you enjoy an Old Fashioned!
As an a fan of a well mixed Old Fashioned, I couldn't help going down another this rabbit hole. Now I know a lot about an unsung Revolutionary War Hero and know exactly what to call a situation where Hercules fails at one of his 12 Labors and asks for a do-over.

Done and done, one of my speedier solves. And, in recent months, one of my few solves.

Looks like an easy one compared to the last couple months... Just wish I could see it myself. Mark me as lost at sea.
As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all — the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.

Good Sunday morning muggles

A continuous parade to the shore so we have 3 on the ship and 235 on the shore, well short of the record of 290 set in July 2022.

Making it to the shore since yesterday are

Ashore, spreading germs! No alcohol for me - no mixie well with antibiotics. This was a really fun, clever puzzle from Matt. Glad I didn't miss out!
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Ashore! Needed a small nudge from Ergcat to keep me from overthinking it. Now back to watching those Chiefs (I mean, commercials 😂)

We made this one much much harder than we needed to, especially since we did the right first step instantly. We're feeling kind of sheepish, but we are on the beach finally. Hi everyone!
