I have an unsatisfying answer, but I feel like it has a confirmation. Waiting to submit, considering another rabbit hole I have feels strong. But I may not wait for long.

Ashore, I believe - just a little uncertain that I didn't miss a second step!

Treading water just off shore. Like others, I have doubts that I am on the right coast. Too short a swim?

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D

Hoping it is the correct one… looking for confirmation before submitting. 🍷will have to wait until after Maundy Thursday evening service.

I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

On the shore of this body of water... Creative clues and answers again on this one. Gaffney Grids... A Tradition Unlike Any Other.

Ashore. I can see how one can overthink this one, but I think the shortest distance is the straight path. Fingers crossed that I am right.

Like others, I believe I am ashore. Going to wait a bit to submit, cogitate, drink and catch up with Succession, and then give it one last look!

Ashore, with what seems to be the obvious answer. But I have not yet found the (I'm sure, very clever) confirmation that's somewhere in the puzzle.

Ashore! Fun meta and probably my first solo solve of a Gaffney puzzle. Hooray!

I'm going to declare myself on the ship for now.

I see an obvious first step - but no CLICK after that. So, I'm going to ponder for a while...
