Very late start, but done and done.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Ashore! Clever metanism, and just the right amount of difficulty for this muggle! I like it when they're hard enough to make me sweat a little, but not so hard that I want to throw things. ;)

Late to shore, so I brought my own 🥃.

Had to think on this for a while, while being distracted by basketball 🏀

Finished the grid before the game, watched the Hoo's beat the Heels (tape delayed - is that still a thing to say?), then found the shore. Fun one.

And... on the beach! Thought this was going to be another one of those "can't solve the Gaffney" meta, but things slowly seemed to fall into place after several attempts. Yay! Enjoyed a Cameron Hughes "De Negoce" no-name Dry Creek Cab to celebrate.

Happy weekend and stay safe all.

Uh huh. Ashore I guess. Had to backsolve to one letter, but the rest was fun. Pretty sure I’m there.

Very clever puzzle. Nice challenge - didn't see anything at first and thought about just leaving it. But a second (or third) look revealed something that became SOMETHING that became a lovely metanism with a fitting answer. Happy solving to those who are still working on it.

I'm NOT getting stuck in an airport this week, but I WILL solve this puzzle. I'm with Isaac at the moment (in LAX) and either in a deep rabbit hole or nearly on the beach

On Naboo. At last! But not the last... I'm sure to be followed! ;) (No, not another sequel!)
Yeah, I fell into a wormhole, an "earworm" hole, hearing those voices inside my head! :shock:

Ashore! Alas it is decidedly NOT beach weather in California right now! I’ll curl up by the fire instead with a glass of wine.

Cheers!
