Have had whole fam here all weekend-4 generations-so not much time until just now. Had to watch the Eagles game first!! Go Birds!

Agree with many others-this was loads of fun and a great aha moment. Another Matt classic. Nice to be controversy free this week!!

Stay well all

I think I’m ashore thanks to some of you clever folks. Had it part of the way but just wasn’t seeing the final step. Much appreciated!

On the shore as of yesterday. I saw the mechanism while on the way to visit our daughter, SIL, and granddaughter. (Mr. Hidden was driving, of course.) Thanks for a fun one, Mr. Gaffney!

Finally ashore after putting the puzzle away and circling back a few times.

Classic Gaffney! I should have listened to my spidey sense while I was completing the grid.

Ashore on Sunday night. I put it down yesterday and came back this evening just in time to solve it. Fun puzzle!
