Quick trip to shore. Fun!

(Is sending answer by email a second-best option? or is it all the same?)

Hi Tamara, it doesn't matter. I submit by email and, as you know, am an absurdly proud Mug winner!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Personally, I think email is better because then I have the message in my Sent folder and can go check if I can't remember whether I already submitted or want to check that I spelled it right or anything.

Consider me with Isaac... I really don't like numbers (!) -- and recuperating from an emergency appendectomy (*not* on my pandemic Bingo card) may make this solve even harder. Can I wheel my couch up to the bar and get something really strong?

That's exactly why I email. So I can check my SENT folder 29 times over the weekend to make sure I did submit and to the correct address :lol:

On shore!

Fun to have two Patrick Berry metas this week. The other, at Fireball Crosswords, is as good or better than this one.

If Patrick collaborated with, say, Joe on a meta, it would be a PB & J.

Took a fair bit of leg work but I made it to the shore... Feel good about getting this one.

With respect, and per our muggle meetup last Tuesday, itโ€™s generally best to avoid a POE - Page One Encroachment. Letโ€™s save interesting discussion topics like this for Page Two and beyond in a Friday puzzle forum, lest we incur the wrath of Wendy and other muggles working feverishly to attain Page One status. Note that there are only 20 slots on Page One, and one of them is the puzzle itself, leaving only 19 coveted places each week. :D

Are you making hot towels available to people as they come ashore?
