Appreciate the kindness of the people in this forum; I believe I'd made it to shore in time for Sunday night Happy Hour.

Haven't had as much time as usual for this one, and the time I have spent has been unproductive. It's ok, I feel like I haven't gotten to know Isaac as well as I should anyway. :lol:

I do have a theory. Can’t say more yet.

Tally me ashore. Very cool

Got a WAG that I’m submitting because it seems too right to be wrong, despite no apparent (to me) paths to get from A-B. Oh well!

I'm giving up on this one, and will hope for better luck next week. I'll throw in a Hail Mary just for yuks.

Boy do I feel dumb. The light just came on. I was ready to throw in the towel and I tried one more thing. On the shore with a few hours to spare. Whew!!!

Our final note as traffic to the shore has settled down considerable.

First a welcome to our newest Muggle - Mike B

We have 124 on the shore and 39 on the ship. This is quite a bit below our numbers for the past couple of months of between 200 and 250. Those who either don't have the answer or received too much help to submit might consider sending in an answer of a somewhat humorous nature to let them know that we are still here.

Making it to the ship's bar since lunchtime are:
Commodore
Bob Kerfuffle
Tripod
David Wi
ajk

And making it to shore with more than a little assistance in most cases are

MaineMarge
PJM
jhseeman
copperriver
bread-girl
mikeB
ImOnToo
sphorning
Les
Peter
Prozach
Powers2020
MileHighSolver
tonyrobots
Secret Adversary

Good luck to all winning the mug.

I’m right there with you, Alan. Isaac sure does have some funny stories.

I'm still no closer to figuring this one out than when I started.

Edit: Thanks for all of the offers to help within minutes. I have it now.
I made the mistake of rejecting the correct path without trying it.

My streak has been broken. I am on my knees, about to crash. The WSJ hits the front door at 2:30 am, I will be waiting....

Well, I am on a shore...hopefully the correct shore. Hope I don't let down those that nudged me along. Not totally happy with it....but it is what it is.

Ah, I see how that reads. Too much weekend time spent on the crossword, going in ever increasing circles... is what I meant to say.

I have a collection of clues, tried a couple of things, a hunch on the answer...but would love a nudge if anyone is willing!

My assistance was caffeine and L-Theanine!

Any muggles who have explored nootropics, please PM me as I am happy with this little experiment and interested in learning more.
