Ashore! A very clever and satisfying puzzle indeed.

Done and done. Nice to see an outside blog to post on - WSJ locked me out quite a bit ago.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Good Sunday morning. A quick report before we go to our daughter's for Easter dinner

We have 10 of us on the ship and 66 on the shore. I have the obvious rabbit hole that I have gone done but have not gotten the rabbit. I also have enough red herrings to feed a family. It will amuse some of you tomorrow

Emerging to keep Isaac company are
Deb
Joseph R
Sheila
cuteremarks
Kay
Jim and Anita

and enjoying the beach are
Stuart
Ed S
Debbie
Beth C
DrTom
Fred
Bill
Tim M
Sue J
Patrick
and D B Miller

Now see if I can get the lightbulb to go on like the 66 have

Add my son and me to the shore party - but let the record show that I got there before him! We found it amusing that my college major and his are equally important components of this week’s solution.

If anyone’s interested, I posted a new song in the Acapulco Lounge. (Not sure if that’s obvious.)

I think I'm on shore, Though not thoroughly satisfied with the path to get there.
I tried posting on the extended W$J forum, but I was unable; and yes I subscribe.

I’d have liked it, if we had a like button! BrianMac said he’s working on one.

Thanks!

(I haven't got a good handle on how people use this new board, so I really didn't know if people would see it if I didn't mention it here.)

So, I haven’t had a lot of time this weekend; but maybe that’s just an excuse. Finished the grid no problem but with Isaac celebrating Easter and Passover. Could be worse.

Late to the shore party. Another fine puzzle construction! I had the right idea, but I was in the wrong rabbit hole for a little while.

I'm on a shore of some sort even tho I am 98% sure it's the wrong one. But it is a four-letter noun, I have logic to justify how I got there, and time is running short. I'm sending it in and setting up camp here to wait and see where everyone else landed and how they got there.

Still on the ship. Love the avatar of Isaac for this Forum's banner. A friendly face indeed, but I'd rather not be looking at him this late in the game. BTW, there's some pretty amusing comments on the board I wishing I could give a thumbs up.

I got the answer, but I must have missed this valuable clue. Please mention it in a comment on Monday.

On shore. Woke up (in a hotel in Paris!) with the answer running through my head. Very cleverly executed meta.
