On shore! Fun solo solve without the other half of my team. Sure he will be there soon once he has a chance to fill the grid.

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

Very fun ride to shore working back and forth from grid to meta. Sitting here biting my nails hoping the Cleveland Guardians (FYI - Not the meta) hold on for one more day…. Having a Blake’s Hard Cider Triple Jam.

Like some other posters, I dread any sports related puzzles but this one was a quick solve, even though I'm not sure I've heard of the team (sorry, sports fans...I readily admit this is a character flaw but I feel there is so much else to worry about including the state of the world and the Gaffney puzzle contest).

Yay! Ashore with my first solo solve in forever. All that lap swimming must have helped.

After being scared that my lack of nuanced professional sports knowledge would make this one impossible, a relief to be ashore!

Late start, but quick trip to shore.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
