On shore, perhaps because I am presently in a foreign country.

Very late start, but ashore for me.

Thank you @hcbirker for confirming I arrived at the correct shore.

Celebrating with a Fuente Work of Art maduro cigar and a Sam Adams Juicy IPA.
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.

A group of wild rabbits. Maybe they hang out at Wendy’s Harper Ferry Rabbit Hole bar??

On shore. We didn't devote as much time this week, but luckily we found the right way to go without too much drama. Two weeks in a row! Let's hope we can keep this streak going... H wants a Raspberry Lime Rickey. J will have an Iced Matcha Latte.

Well, now that the Masters has been completed (what a fantastic tournament!), I sat down with the crossword and have arrived on shore! Now all the earlier comments make sense. Beautiful construction!

Whhoops.

Almost forgot to submit.

Won't make any difference but I feel a bit of a fool when I forget to submit.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Good evening muggles. Our final count is 4 on the ship and 219 on the shore

Good luck winning the mug and have a good week.


A couple of things to consider

this week we have 4 and 219
last week we had 2 on the ship and 219 on the shore

two weeks ago we had 27 on the ship and 127 on the shore
four weeks ago we had 28 on the ship and 126 on the shore

And at the last minute,
I do kid you not—
I tried it again
(I had done so a lot!)

But then…there it was!
I need look no more!!
Yes, wet and bedraggled,
But at last—on shore!!!

Count me ashore. Gimme a nightcap and tuck me into bed, please.
