This mechanic gives me the heebie-jeebies. After the correct answer is revealed any general tips and perhaps a few examples of "bracket puzzles" would be a helpful post.
Thank you, Barbara!

On shore. It took a shared brain with my husband, but we got it pretty quickly.

Bob, it was actually the MGWCC puzzle for which (at least one year of) my misspent youth was a ginormous solving aid!Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 4:21 am

Good luck, fellow Muggles!

It's been a fun weekend at Isaac's bar, think I'm staying there. I'm also stuck on MMMM and have been going back and forth between the two which is not helping because now I'm mixing them up. @Ergcat if you haven't been already, the Boulevard Beer Hall is definitely worth a visit if you're still in KC.

At the bar with no sign of land. All I see is strange number glyphs.

I’m on the shore with a 46D cup of coffee. Feels like it’s already 90° here. I slept on the boat with an inkling of what to do and it was all clear to me this morning, save for a few hiccups. On with the remainder of the weekend!

As life opens up and I’m spending more time with people outside my family, it is difficult to explain my new weekend “job” of the the WSJCC to them. When I entered the pandemic I had never heard of this! I sat with friends on a beautiful porch looking out on Table Rock, Hawksbill and Grandfather 🏔 yesterday morning working the grid. They looked on to my puzzle with less than curious eyes… but I’ve dragged other friends in with me so that’s good!

Still LAS. Sounds like a fun solve for those who got a clue for what boat to get in. Love a nudge.

Not quite to shore. Think I know the way, but keep getting jibberish.
Would welcome the opportunity to run my logic by someone and figure out where I have gone astray.
Edited…
On shore with a bit of coaching from Boharr. Merci.
What a cool puzzle.

Well, that was a slog. I’m waterlogged and exhausted from swimming against the riptide. But for my “crossword whisperer”, I’d be waaaayyyy out at sea. Even with the push, it was a satisfying puzzle. More of a 4-rating in my book.
Time for some margs by the beach.
