On shore. First puzzle I've had time to tackle in several weeks. Martini (later).
All ashore that's going ashore.

Good morning muggles

A fun meta from Mr. Shenk. So far, we have a few still wandering the ship and 155 on the shore.

Ashore while aboard! Waiting to leave for a week’s sail with friends. My faith in my solving ability has been partially restored. Thank you, Mike!

On SHORE!!! Only the second one I've solved completely swimming alone. Albeit I only started solving the Meta in November. But feels great to see it and get it! Finally!!

Now that I'm here, I'll celebrate with a Friday morning Mimosa, light on the OJ
If you see me on the beach, feel free to pm for a nudge. After all the help I’ve got, I am happy to send it forward when I can!

Maybe the real Page One is the friends we made along the way.
