Even easier than the last two if you ask me. A much quicker solve anyway. Almost time for a Manhattan!

On shore. Looking forward to the difficulty ramping back up.

Ashore. And thanks to Mike for a fun puzzle. Just watched the Mars landing and feel over the moon!

Halfway through the grid and I have the answer, mostly because Mike blatantly stole the idea from a Monday Muggles puzzle of mine that's going to run when the time is ripe, which it isn't for this puzzle.
