[Bob cruise director]

Good Friday morning muggles

First a warm welcome to our two newest muggles @Mostlikelly and @Mommydoc05

So far we have one keeping Isaac company and 169 on the shore. Please remember to tip the tender crews as they have been working hard starting shortly after the meta came out.

and don't forget the 4:30 pm zoom call for fun and frivolity as well as assistance solving

[Aragorn]

Ashore! Fun puzzle.

[kurtalert]

Late start again, but smooth sailing to shore. Fun one.

[Libbypibby]

Ashore. Feels good after spending last weekend at the bar.

[Susan Goldberg]

I've been called worse. Here on the shore now, ye lubbers!

@Susan Goldberg: You were right. Best race ever. And largest to boot!

Oh I’m so glad! Congrats!!

[Susan Goldberg]

On shore! Yay! So fun! Have a great weekend everyone!

[Lee-Ann]

I thought this was a tough one! Happy to be ashore!

[DrTom]

Ashore! It is 12:30 here so just a ginger beer.

But question for the group, am I the only one who saw the possibility of a fifth letter? It held up my progress a bit, though I got there in the end. Of course maybe I am just a.....

Ashore. I made it more difficult with a fill error.

[Bojean]

Sometimes you feel like a nut! Sometimes you don’t!

Revisiting the puzzle this morning... I believe there could be two viable answers to this Meta. Anyone else finding that they could realistically defend another 4 letter word?

[Barnhart6]

On shore…finally. Someone has to be last, lol.

Next round on me

I see the possibility of a second answer, depending on how you extrapolate step 2 of the solve. Guessing you're seeing the same

Ashore well before the Zoom! Time for bottomless hot beverages to get me through our first nasty winter storm of the year.

[Kris Zacharias]

On shore. I'm having a good day with word puzzles.

Same here! Worst November storm in 30 years, supposedly. Cheers!

Ashore!

Ashore - Silenus Oak Knoll District Cabernet Franc 2021 - The nose of this wine has enticing flavors of cranberry and pomegranate with subtle hints of shiso and mint leaves. The extremely bright and elegant palate of this wine renders a perfect balance between red fruit, black cherry, baking spices and oak with an extremely long and lingering finish.

I thought I was on shore, but now I'm wondering if I found this alternate answer instead.
I'll have to look it over again before the zoom call to see if I can find something I like better than my current answer.
