Still no clue on this one, sigh. Afloat in stormy seas .... Oh, is that the flying Dutchman on the starboard horizon?

Anyone willing to help a muggle out with a nudge?

ETA: On the beach after nearly going under. Thanks to @jimbo1 for the nudge!

Ashore!!
It took me all weekend (almost) but slowly and surely I got it without too many detours. Loved this one! Off to enjoy the rest of the weekend. Good luck to everyone!

I'm ashore, thanks to a timely nudge from Meta Mom!
I got halfway there on my own but was stuck on proceeding any further.
Cheers all!

Hey guys. Some of you will remember me. I'm from back in the Sally days. I don't do the board anymore, but I thought of you all when I read Gavin MacLeod died. I just wanted to say hi. I am on shore this week, BTW.

Ashore.

Iโ€™ve been in a terrible slump, but I hope itโ€™s over with wins in both the WSJ and Wk 4 MGWCC.

After spending most the weekend in a promising rabbit hole, we finally got turned around and made it to shore.

Iโ€™m ashore. Got started late and found grid a bit tough, but smooth sailing into shore on the meta.

Strike the flag? Surrender? Never!
Going down with the ship. Colors flying. Band playing. Isaac serving.
Our regards to those ashore.

May want to listen to Peter Schillingโ€™s Terra Titanic on the way down.

However, if you decide to reach for a lifebuoy (or whatever - Im not a boater), feel free to dm me.

I've been stuck at sea for the last three weeks or so, and I don't see any respite in sight. I'll just post this pic of a truck I parked next to at church, since they clearly made it on shore.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone, and special thanks to you who served. As we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country, may we live lives worthy of that sacrifice.

Not only remember, but miss you, Chiquitita. You brightened our board and your lyrics were so much fun.

I salute you, sir! But remember: never give up the ship! Or the meta!

I would love a post-vacation nudge if anyone is feeling friendly. I have 2 discovered elements that are definitely related but they don't produce sensical results....

Still at sea, as of now.

Updateโ€”made it ashore, very slowly, but safely.
