Ashore
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Ashore! Late start yesterday, total blind spot, then woke up this morning with a “D’OH!”

A little early for the cabana boy, but with friends visiting from out of town, we’ll be keeping him busy later on tonight. Cheers all!

@newbymar I am surprised that you had enough bandwidth to facetime. Welcome to the shore

Good Saturday morning muggles

A fun meta and a classic Shankean meta. We have one on the shore who was also on the zoom call so I am pretty sure that he is on the shore but has not posted it. And we have 193 on the shore so without further ado here is the long list of those on the crowded shore and elbowing their way up to the multiple tiki bars

Our Viking river boats said that they had limited bandwidth when we were not at the dock (no streaming) but when we were docked we were either eating, sleeping, chatting with new friends. Also we were six hours time different so we were asleep when muggle zoom calls were going on.

Ashore! Relieved to have finally spotted land after longer than I would have liked hopelessly at sea :)

Ashore! Was stumped and then remembered a puzzle-solving trick that helped me see it right away. I think I’ll have a pumpkin cider in honor of the beautiful fall day.
