Post enlightenment. On shore! Made that way harder than I needed to. Guess I'm anticipating the MGWCC week 4 tomorrow.

Onshore after a kindly nudge confirming that the answer I suspected was too simple was, in fact, too simple. :lol:

I have a nit to pick with Shenk on Monday that sent me down a HUGE rabbit hole that turned into a warren. Just glad that Scotch on the rocks turned me around!

Got it, but not as easily as many here did.

I know it’s indecent to ask for a nudge this early. I see a number of things and I just want to start off down the right path. God this is humbling! But my MO is to stick with things until I get it.

All we have right now is an observation with no idea how to apply it.

We don't get an extra day to solve because of the long weekend? 😉

And we are on the beach.

And editing to add that yes, indeed, this is very impressive on many levels.

I have to admit, I didn't fall right in to Mike's thinking on this one. I liked it, and I'm onshore, but I needed the Martini while still at sea. I'm going to have to say: more than the current rating of two stars for this one!

On shore with a nice swim; saw a potential 61A from afar at the start and ended up being the right way to navigate. Holding off on my celebratory beverage until (fingers crossed) we have a Chelsea Champions League Cup come Saturday.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend ahead!

I think I have the answer but I'm going to mull it over (glass of unmulled Chardonnay in hand). I'm not used to solving this early, and I'm not sure I understand every aspect of the mechanism. Happy long weekend, everyone!

I'm headed to the bar with Isaac. Must clear my head before solving.
