I was SO excited to be on shore Thursday that I forgot to post! Plus I had an earworm.

Finally ashore after momentarily losing my oar. I will be around today to assist anyone seeking help. No discord needed, just message me with what you got.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Sadly, I'm wandering around the ship looking for Isaac for help. Going to go it alone a little longer as I feel like it should be jumping out at me. Feeling disheartened having to use Google too much. Is that cheating :? ?

After a super long hiatus from the puzzle, we're back on the shore.

Hello all,
I am hoping someone is around who point me in the right direction to shore...
Wanted to see if I'm at least going down a relevant rabbit hole....

Nope! For some puzzles, it's almost a necessity, whether it's a nasty Natick or info needed for the meta.

You know, if I have time to get on the Sunday night call I have a funny story about Julio down by the schoolyard.
If you like Rows Gardens check out my mini ones here: viewforum.php?f=41. Nudges are free on the off chance I’ve solved the meta.
