I'm on shore...not a big *click* for me on the meta to make me feel 1000% right but I'm confident that if I don't have the actual right answer, I at least have *a* right answer.

Think I have it. Will ponder a bit before submitting, but will probably convince myself I do.

On shore.

Took me a few minutes to figure it out, but I had a good idea of what direction to search.

Good one, Matt. Maybe we'll finally have a puzzle with 2+ star difficulty.
