Nice smooth sail to shore. Fun puzzle. Getting some Mike Shenk love for our profession in the 33D clue - Awesome! Feeling like a little Ace Pineapple Cider to cool off from the hot weather.

I was thinking “Oat Cat Cafe” myself. As I googled “oat cat” to find anything that would go with it! Those were the days

Ashore and parched! Tried too hard, then saw the light. Thanks Zoomers!

Ashore yesterday.
Something made me doubt that I had the "correct" answer. Somehow PAGEANT crossed my mind, but that's seven letters.
Thanks to the Zoom Room crew and especially Wendy for the explanation.

Great Zoom Session!!! Wonderful to see everyone. I was asked if I owned a certain sports car and I've actually owned 2 of them.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Natasha had it right away. We are elbowing our way on shore now. Glad that's done - our daughter is 15 today, and with as many friends in the pool, we'll enjoy an appropriate adult beverage at the adult afterparty.

You are almost certainly over complicating it.

And it’s a good reminder of why we don’t use the E-word around here. No matter how many get it quickly, there are always some, even some really good solvers, who just don’t see it.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

I am GREen with envy for those who found the pATH more quickly than I did--and I tried to go fast! At least I won't be wORN out with endless rabbit holes and rEDOing my grid trying to find the answer. I'm guessing that the muggles will be packed cheek by joWL at the tiki bar this weekend.

When I was thinking of a bird for this week, I was surprised to see that I hadn't used Great-horned Owl before. But I double-checked my spreadsheet (yes, my meta statistics spreadsheet has a column for the bird of the week! :geek: ) and it wasn't there. I HAVE used Burrowing Owl, Eastern Screech Owl, Northern Saw-whet Owl, and Short-eared Owl. We all nerd out about something.

And here is a pic of some Great-horned Owlets at the wildlife hospital I volunteer at. They really click their beaks at you when you go into their cage!
