I haven't had a chance to play in many weeks, so this was a nice one to return to! On shore! :D

On shore. A few problems with the grid, but meta was easy-peasy.
How about a Hendrick's and tonic?

Hmm, two ways this could go. Sure hope it's the one and not the other.

How about this one:

I'm not finding the meta as easy as many others. So I'm posting that I'm Lost At Sea in hopes that it will come to me instantly afterwards.

Totally lost, rabbits everywhere, but based on the responses here it looks like it's hiding in plain sight :(

Another one star meta? I have not looked at the puzzle but am leaning towards opting out until we get the promised step up in difficulty.

I believe I am a curmudgeon in the making. Hrrmph!
