I’m with Isaac. Have house guests this weekend and not much time for meta. Grid done.

Stuck at the bar with Isaac and looking forward to tonight's reveal. Curious to see if any of my rabbit holes were the right entry point.
Always happy to provide a nudge if I’m ashore.

SometimesStumped and I seem to have drifted off into The Bermuda Triangle at this point. 😂 Looking forward to finding out the answer to this one later. Kudos to all of you currently ashore!

Welp, it’s very lonely on the ship today. Isaac seems annoyed by my presence as if he’d rather be on the beach with the rest of you.

Ahsore!
After spending all day with Isaac, I had my Aha just in time to change my Zin order to a 'to go' and now plan to enjoy the sunset with toes in the sand:)

I thought for sure I was keeping company with Isaac the whole weekend!! But one last look and I’m safely ashore!

Woohoo! Had all but given up...but figured I was close in my ideas of how to find the answer! And then, one more look and there it was. I'm glad I didn't slave over it all weekend and just let that aha moment happen naturally! :-) Doesn't always happen that way, of course, haha!

Update: thank you for the nudges - you basically all gave me the same one. Man, I was so close and just not seeing it - until suddenly I did. Thank you! Firmly on the beach!

Okay. I’m still seeing water, water, everywhere - no beach in sight. Would appreciate a nudge!

Count me firmly planted in front of Isaac. I heard his grandkids need college money and I'm appropriately filling his tip jar.

@beccacollins if you still want a nudge, message me with what you have seen and where you're stuck. I'm happy to help.
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.

Missed the final count, but that's OK. Just happy to get a smiley.
