Ashore. The solution came to me as I was waking up this morning, now of course I can't believe I didn't see it sooner . . .

Ahoy mateys! I’m finally ashore! 🏖
I can’t believe it took me so long to figure out the answer. I definitely over complicated the path to the solution.
Enjoy your holiday weekend and good luck in the mug quest.

@HunterX , I want to hear more about the trip. Was it rafting?HunterX wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 11:28 pm Ashore.
And back from the 6-day Grand Canyon river trip, which was awesome. Did last week's puzzle after my return without looking at any comments, and solved within 24 hours, so my streak continues. Daughter did the puzzle with their partner, so they also count as continuing the team's streak. And here is just one of my more than 700 photos, because I just can't resist...

Good luck Muggles and have a great weekend.

On shore! I have to admit that this one didn't really make sense to me, but somehow I still managed to find my way!
It's a coffee table book about coffee tables

Good Saturday morning muggles.
And welcome to our newest muggles - John M, MarkWoychick, architect, and ahimel
I do not believe that the Journal will be published on Monday so you will have to wait for Tuesday to be notified that you have won the mug!! However the contest closes at 11:59pm on Sunday as usual. So the solution will be shown and discussed here on Monday.
We have had a steady stream of muggles making it to shore, some with bruises on their foreheads from the "duh" headslap.
We have 8 on the ship and 150 on the shore.
On the ship are
EVJ
ahimel
Inca
DrTom
TeaJenny
JeanneC
SewYoung
copperriver
While on the shore are

Have a great and safe July 4th. Remember that it is hard to complete metas with your hands wrapped up if you are unsafe with fireworks

WELL, finally ashore but not submitting - I was so close for several days. I had all the parts, I had the basic idea, just the wrong formula. I thought I had tried everything but it took a nudge to show me I had not. Funny how when you do things the right way they work.....
Times like this I am not a Muggle I'm a struggle....
Oh, and this one is for LadyBird - I laughed for about 5 minutes after seeing this:

On shore at last. I think I didn't see the mechanism at first because while it's fairly straightforward to solve.... how did he create it? The constraints to get this to work! Impressive.

Ashore, nice to have a feeling of accomplishment and not spend all weekend on the puzzle.

On shore. Had to shake my head a lot to get the neural circuits to connect, and now I'm shaking my head that I did not see it sooner.

On shore. A very quick and direct trip once I took my first serious look at this meta today, as things fell into place immediately. Some weeks you're homed in on the right wavelength from the beginning, and some weeks you can't see what's right in front of your face. Fortunately this week was the former case.

Got what I think is the first step of the meta. Need help with those darn numbers in parentheses...

Hope to find some time to really look at the meta...so far way too busy and nothing has jumped out at me.
