I made it to shore after spending most of the time just getting the grid.

It's been 10 puzzles since one I consider very tricky / difficult. I had trouble with "End Products" & "Sail On, O Ship of State!" which came out in consecutive weeks. We haven't had a puzzle in a while where it took a long time to fill page 1.

MikeyG was the first to solve. His Saturday puzzle was called "Think Twice". This puzzle's title is also a hit song by the rock band Eve 6, but of course it has nothing to do with the solution. There's got to be at least a few people here who have heard of them.

On shore. Very rainy here. That must mean it’s time for a beer.
