On Shore. Thanks @jdb

On shore! Thanks for a fun one PB! I need to spend the rest of the weekend with my nose in a spreadsheet recording guests' names for a big fundraising luncheon. Finding the right rabbit hole this morning enables me to "enjoy" the rest of the weekend on that exciting task.

With more than a little help from the Coast Guard, I have glubbed my way to the shore.

STILL ON THE SHIP (In case it isn't obvious.)

[Bob cruise director]

Good Saturday morning

How many of us have had Dave Brubeck in your ear all weekend so far. Thank you Patrick Berry.

First we welcome our newest muggles - bigtuna (is this Bill Parcells doing metas?), rjy, MDM, and Acari

So far we have 16 on the ship and 104 on the shore with varying degrees of Coast Guard towing.

Finally on shore. Thanks to my muggle friends for encouraging me and not letting me give up. It turned out to be a lot of fun as the fog began to clear after staring at it all morning. Feeling a bit exhausted, so I need to take five.

[Barney]

Have the answer because the methodology was handed to me on a plate. So I’m staying at the ship’s bar, winking at anyone who wants me to pass it.

I never submit answers I do not get.

Public hint is one that used to be recited regularly.

Title.

[SewYoung]

Count me in the group on the ship. I have no clue. Haven't had time to read the comments yet to know how easy or hard this one is considered to be.

[SewYoung]

This meta had made me a wreck
While sitting with Isaac on deck.
Then the daughter came by
With a much keener eye:
Solved by the girl from Quebec.


Team effort, but @puzzled saw the key step. High fives to her.

So, Equipe Canuck are ashore. And we really are. We're down at the tiki bar at a beach on Hilton Head. We'll have rum and enough fruit to keep off the scurvy.

My husband has a cousin who lives on Hilton Head. If you run into Andrea, tell her we said "Hello!".

I moved offices at my job at the turn of the year, so haven't been as into doing the metas recently, but after 10 months (has it been that long?) of not posting on here, I think I'm back on shore this week! I definitely found a path, but I'm only about 80% sure of my answer. Nice to be back Hope everyone is doing well

As I lazed in the life boat, my hand trailing in the warm sea water, I closed my eyes to feel the sun bathe my face. I dreamt of the days spent with Patrick Berry, constructor extraordinaire and his wickedly clever puzzles. Suddenly there came a soft crunch as the life boat hit the sandy coast. i opened my eyes and saw the faces of my many friends gathered around me. I am ashore, I realized with relief, I am ashore.

Yoo-hoo cabana boy! I’ll have what he’s having…!

[Susan Goldberg]

Finally on shore! (After studying old Patrick Berry puzzles in this forum! So helpful. Thanks!!)

[jimmyd]

Quick swim to shore this week… step one jumped out at me instantly, thank goodness! Now off to tackle the MGWCC…

[patpatchica]

I’m very much a newbie at this. I’ve stared at this puzzle for hours it seems. I’d be very appreciative if someone could offer me a little nudge before I drown at sea.

[jimbo1]

On Shore!
Nice Puzzle.

[edot]

Ashore! Fun one.

[JAQT]

On shore! A very satisfying reveal after a number of blind alleys (too many to mention).

[Kris Zacharias]

On shore, finally. It wasn't a matter of a rabbit hole, but a whole rabbit warren that sidetracked me. Kudos to the quick solvers, that is, to those with the correct tunnel vision.

[patpatchica]

On shore thanks to a couple nudges. First meta I’ve ever solved (out of 3 tries). I think I’m addicted!

[hunkra]

Finally ashore thanks to an initial hint from @boharr Not super keen on the final answer and won't submit - but I do believe I've earned a chaise and a visit from our cabana boy. Onward!
