Ashore, but rather disappointed by the simplicity of the meta.

Late start. Quick finish. Toes in sand. Cold one in hand, but not what I usually have. I’ll say more on Monday.

I have the grid and the meta solved, but can't submit my answer -- I get the message "Sorry, your submission is not working at this time. Please try again later." So, I'll try again later.

Late start after a mid-day tee time, but a quick swim to shore. Now my sweet tooth is growling. A favorite of mine.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

And it’s hard to keep track of what day it is when you’re retired. Definitely not the worst problem one could have though 🙂

Made it ashore after a bit of initial staring and squirming... but then a fun dash over the last few “aha” moments. Kahlua and cream next.
