On shore. Grid a bit tougher than normal; spent 30 minutes on the meta and a found a promising rabbit hole but could not find the rabbit. Took a cat nap while watching mindless TV and presto, out jumped the rabbit!

Safely on shore. Undoubtedly an interesting puzzle to construct, but not that hard to solve.

Found the rabbit in the first rabbit hole. Practically stumbled onto the rabbit before he even got to the burrow. Ashore.

I have a method which I'm sure is right, but the answer it led to was a bit disappointing, and not just because I wanted it to be TWERK.

On shore, I think :D

The grid was more straightforward than usual, and the concept for the meta came quickly - just took a few more minutes to go from the concept to the answer. Since I've made my way to the beach two weeks in a row, history predicts that I'll be at sea again for the next month.

Solved after chasing many wabbits wunning in all diwections.

Meta took me almost an hour so to my mind, I eked out a par.

:D On shore for the first time in weeks. I either find it quickly or not at all, it seems.
