On shore. Rather busy swim with a few rip tides.

Onshore. I think their plan to increase the difficulty gradually is working out well.

Safely on shore. A longer swim than we've had in a while.

With all the snow coming this weekend to northern CO, was hoping for a trickier one. But I agree this was slightly more difficult, especially for newcomers.
Count me ashore, Bob!

On shore! The meta eluded me at first, then it hit me like a lightning bolt.

Ashore, after more a series of stumbles than a direct path. Matt is clever!

I'm ASHORE.
And I'm glad I made it this week because I hear there's going to be a dramatic reading of this legend by the fire pit on Sunday night. You know, the story of the wonderful soul who hid bottles of Guinness around the beach for good little boys and girls to find in the morning.....

I was stuck for a while, but eventually saw the light. What an elegant puzzle!

Solved. Drove to Eastern Oregon today and had to do the puzzle over wifi on my phone, but I'm spending the night with Mrs C=64 at a yurt with hot-spring-fed bathtubs while our teen kids fend for themselves at home so I'm putting the phone away. 🏞

I appreciated the extra level of elegance, which possibly some speed swimmers may have overlooked. 🏊 πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.
