Ashore. We feel fairly confident in our final solution but after being asea for the last few weeks we wouldn't be surprised if we have discovered a vanishing sandbar instead. Happy weekend all.

Oh, I hear you, Todd!
Our annual Charitable Organization Registration renewal with the Commonwealth of PA is due Nov. 15 (I'm the treasurer of the foundation that maintains Primitive Hall, a historic house). I THINK I have all the numbers they will want, but I deliberately waited until after I solved the meta to get started on the paperwork!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I just printed off the puzzle. Haven't looked at it other than to realize, "Oh, no! Numbers!"

No clue again... 8 weeks in a row. Ugh. Beer me, Isaac.

Stil with Isaac. Probably making it harder than it is. Lots of time though.

I was so excited to start the meta this week that all day yesterday I thought it was Thursday. I got home and shouted to my hubby "It's meta Thursday!", and he gently and graciously reminded me that it was Wednesday. (Not really; he teased me relentlessly.) :roll:

Tough grid; still on the ship searching through binoculars for the shore.

We welcomed our 2nd daughter to the world this afternoon, so I have somewhat depleted my reserves. Grid was brutal. I'm quite content to relax on the boat.

Ashore! Nice to join the group on the beach after struggling for a few weeks!

I’m missing one piece, but I submitted an answer that I feel good about.
