On shore thanks to a key insight someone posted during the group solve. And then some work. Definitely a 100% :lol:

Got an answer but concerned it’s not correct. Will ponder awhile.

Cruised in to the shore... wasn't sure that the road I was following was going to lead there but worth the perseverance. A classic Strongbow Cider ready to go here.

Finally figured it out. It makes sense, but a bit of a slog to get there. Surprised to be on page 2 at 6pm - maybe others are slogging too. Once there, though, it's 100%.

Ashore. Thank you MS for existing, that was brilliant. Saving a Cuban and some drams of El Dorado rum for after dinner.

Ashore after narrowing down about a hundred different ways you could interpret the given clues. Sheesh. I’m sipping a nice red blend and I’ll stick with this. (Will add the narrowing down was c/o Discord smarty pantses.)

Ashore with some guidance. Beautifully done Mr. Shenk!
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward. ;)

Had an answer a while ago, but I'm not getting that *click* that provides 100% certainty.

Then it's the wrong answer. This is 100% and a very, very solid click. It's about as explicitly laid out an answer as one has ever seen in a meta.

Yeah, if properly executed there should be literally zero doubt.

Very late start. House guests. But found a little time to sneak this in.

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.
