There are some really interesting things going on here that I can't help but notice. Hopefully some more inspiration will stir up inside me before Sunday.

On shore. This puzzle required an ability in which I am seriously deficient. And it's driven me to drink. About time.

On the beach! I rarely imbibe mid-week, but this one calls for a Cadillac margarita with a shot of Profidio Extra Anejo! Anyone want to join me?

Lots of letters that seem to go with each other but I cannot make anything out of it.

On shore, finally! I saw the important stuff early but it took me this long to interpret it correctly.

A quick programming note - I will be out all day tomorrow so there will be no Friday noon report. It will either be late in the day or combined with the Saturday noon report

Grid solved, but I feel like I'm just sifting through letters now. Need to find how to put them together...

Got to the puzzle late today... was at my son's high school baseball game (in Natick of all places!). Now on the beach, and also impressed (alas the game was close, but a loss.).

On shore. After several failed trips, I finally asked the GPS lady for directions.

Lost in confusion right now. Going in all sorts of directions and getting nowhere.
