On shore!
(I also ran into a little wrinkle but I’m good with my answer! I’ll be interested in hearing the re-cap on Monday.)

Wish the shore was on Kiawah Island this weekend, though!

98% sure I have the right answer but 0% sure how I got to part of it.

EDIT: Okay, I've figured it out. Extremely clever!

Ashore!
I guess been solving these long enough that I quickly saw what may have once been a setback for me.

Ashore. Many rabbit holes and even a primrose path.

Once again, not remotely for the first time, it was ...

Midnight Loo 'Spiration

Now I can't get Tommy James and the Shondells out of my head.

Solved it in the middle of the night. Crappy sleep, but happy meta-boy.

On the beach! 🏖

Tough one for me due to some dastardly distractions! Nearly had it as I went to bed, then the 100% AHA hit!! Then I had trouble getting to sleep due to the adrenaline rush. I love meta puzzles.

Ashore after a hiatus last week, but I have last week’s saved so I won’t check in again until I solve it in case anyone has the need to discuss it here… 🙉 🙈

And I’m with everyone on the wrinkle this week.

I am waiting for when you win the mug before Beth. We want that picture posted.

I don't like the sound of that since I am down that rabbit hole. :shock:
I think we must be down the same rabbit hole. I was hoping that the puzzle would solve itself in my dreams but I had no such luck.

On shore this morning after going on a deep and curvy rabbit hole last night. Matt sure is a clever fellow.

On shore after 3 weeks stuck on the boat. Grid went quickly, meta didn't pop until this morning. Had a couple of detours, but the answere is solid, in my mind. No inconsistencies noted here.
