I've got something on the way to the solution, something so obvious, and tricksy ... but no, what I have just sits there and mocks me. I think I'll go make some face masks to feel better - sort of!

Will take a nudge as well. I have a lot of promising stuff, but it's just not coming together...

Hi there, I’m a newbie to the group. Finished the grid and chased a rabbit hole to 13 letters. Could really use a nudge from someone so feel free to PM me. This is driving me crazy!

I read your post about your daughter and promptly put down "ship"

Hope your daughter is safe, Spain is being hit hard

New to the group, safely on shore (this week, anyway) for the record.

I could use a nudge as well. The answer we have come up with doesn't feel quite right.

Rather than send nudges individually, I've posted an encrypted hint on the Nudge Requests forum (forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=244&p=17101#p17101). PM me if you want a clearer hint.

Ashore! (Rather late to the party, but at least, this week, I had time to work on the meta and a little brain power left over from other, more stressful, activities.)

Appropriate for Palm Sunday in a way, I have submitted a hail Mary.

I am on some shore on some planet.

Got it with some help. Won't submit, on account of the assistance, but still feel some bit of satisfaction. Brilliant puzzle!

Couple of rabbit holes have led me to 11 letters each, but nothing to show for it. Looks like I'll be keeping Isaac company at the bar til closing time this week, folks.

Thanks, Bob. She is working from home and rarely goes out. The grocery stores there are stocked. This was supposed to be a 6-month assignment, over in May, but we doubt she’ll be able to leave any time soon.

I've just landed on a shore, but I feel so alone, and I don't think it's social distancing.

Well, evidently all it took was a post indicating that I'm stuck at sea to get me onshore. Finally finally got there!
