Ashore. Got a wheel realignment from @Bob cruise director . I had 1/3 right and then I fell in a pretty deep rabbit hole that felt like Alice's LSD trip

RECOMMENDATION!

On this week's Friday Zoom it was announced that our own @DavyGravy has created his first meta. I highly recommend that people take a look and enjoy it for your Sunday. Practice your meta skills and have some fun.

To access the puzzle, go to "Other Meta Crossword Puzzles" at the Board Index and then "Muggle Meta Mondays." The puzzle is titled "Muscle Contraction".

Nice job, Dave!
Don & Cynthia

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!

I completed the grid on Thursday, but I haven’t had much time to work on the meta due to family activities. Tomorrow is a full day as well, so I’ll likely be found at the bar with Isaac come the deadline. :beer:

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Solved. Such a fun puzzle once I found where I went astray.

On shore; came quickly once I got done with a brake job on my car. Though I'll confess that i don't see a clear connection between the title and the answer. Kentucky mule for me.

Got the grid but don't see a way to the beach. Maybe a nudge.

Lost at sea. I doubt that even with the extra hour coming off daylight savings time I’ll find my way to shore. Just more time to explore those rabbit holes.

Made it ashore! Took time off of the puzzle last night to see Steve Martin and Martin Short at the Fox Theater. Absolutely hilarious! Woke up this morning and while listening to the Sunday Morning Chill Out on Disney radio everything clicked.

I join those still on the ship. Can't even figure out which deck has the gangway this week. Any nudges welcomed.

Edit: Found the gangway (I think). Still can't get all the way to the exit. I seem to be mis-reading one of the signs.

Edit 2: This *looks* like an exit to the shore, but it might just be an entrance to the bowels of the ship.

Anyone willing to confirm my answer?

If I have solved the Puzzle,feel free to ask for a nudge. Always willing to pay it forward.

Ashore! The family is still asleep, I had time for a new look which led to a new approach and it worked.

Long weekend. Fairly quick solve.
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.

Phew. That was tough. On shore but without major assistance from Don (thanks a million, Ship4u), I wouldn't have made it.

Happy Sunday, Muggles.
