I'm absolutely sure now. I remembered an old trick Matt once told us.

We are on a shore. I would like things to be a little tighter but will probably submit what we have in a bit.

Ashore! (We think!)

After last week's, where we should have gotten the answer but twisted ourselves into pretzels, we won't permit ourselves to similarly twist. So, if we're wrong, c'est la vie!

Ashore on what is sure to be a crowded beach. At least I'm pretty sure I found the right island....it took a minute or two to fine tune and expand my answer but it seems obvious now.

Good luck to all.

Ashore!
A rare Thursday solve for me, I usually don’t get to look at these until Friday. And I must add myself to the group of solvers back in the game after struggling unsuccessfully the past two weeks.

Ashore, I think. Will think some more before submitting

Update: thinking (and overthinking) completed*, submitting now

*overthinking completed for now, that is. Likely to resume later

I just hope that if it had to happen, it happened after your return from your fun trip!
Oh no that would have been far too convenient. It happened on the first night of the trip.
:( Well, at least Boston's a good place for medical treatment. :?

Delayed in getting to the puzzle due to work and working out. Took me a bit to see what was going on, then more time to convince myself that my answer is really the right one, but by now at least I'm happy with my answer, so I declare myself ashore.
