Ashore! A quick swim after a late start. (These days, I can’t seem to remember what day of the week it is … time to check into the Colorado State Home for the Bewildered … 😳.)

Brutal grid, but ashore quickly after finishing it. Impressive.

Or is it because I have a less than encYClopedic knowledge of metas? Or did I really cATCH on right away? I think I will pondER for awhile...
Right with you, Ladybird! Think I see it but not sure... will ponder a while! (Seems hard to believe I got it so quickly!)

Very Enjoyable. After a brief rabbit hole of over complicating things, I'm ashore!

I think we are ashore! I wouldn't say 💯 certain but feel comfortable enough to submit.

And the grid took us a while!

And to echo the praises... Masterful construction and fun.
