I'm on shore. Convenient that a couple of things I'd noticed while filling the grid turned out to be the key to the meta.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

On shore, after co-solving with @jhseeman -- waited to post until page 2 so that solo solvers could sun themselves on the prime real estate on page 1. Thanks to Discord for ruling out two possible paths, one of which I'm going to make into a meta. @DavyGravy, you' already have a head start on it!

Done and done. Kept butting up against a very shallow rabbit hole and couldn't escape it for the longest time. Finally got on the right path.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

On shore! I might have taken a bit longer with this than my usual self-imposed time limit, but oh well.

Ashore! Would have been sooner if I would have measured twice.

Ashore! I finally got it without nudges.

I was lost for a while, but after exhausting all of my ideas I remembered something that I'd seen once before.
