I rarely ever post, but I really enjoyed that one! Heading to the beach for dinner this evening.

I think I had the same problem that Sam Hamilton had finding the last 25%.
Did you mean me? (I'm San Milton.) I'm sure several forum members will be discussing that element in the post mortem on Monday!

Just solved the grid, but haven’t solved the meta yet. Numbers in parentheses are my kryptonite.

Checking in to say that I am still on the boat and expect to be here quite a while. I've solved very few of this type meta, if the mechanism is what I think. Meanwhile, here's my flower on 5/28/21.

Ashore with minimal splashing around this time. Good puzzle, very good meta.

Still swimming in circles. Curious to which beach this is? Thank you.
Midi Beach! Leastways, that's what the interwebs & filename say. 🤔
