This was a very enjoyable solve! And it's always nice make it ashore once again.

Thanks Mike for a cleverly constructed puzzle, I appreciate it.

These past few weeks have been a fresh & fun start to the year.

I'll have a Mai Tai please. And it will probably lead to another.

Cheers!

Got it! Took too long to spot it.. like others I was following another intriguing trail too long. I’ll have whatever Meg’s Cabana boy fell down shaking.

Finally reached the end of the right rabbit hole. Another intricate construction from Mike Shenk. Now for a stretch on the beach.

Hello - Ashore! Nice post-dinner solve.

Hope the ongoing storm in the East/Midwest isn’t affecting you all too adversely; take care!

Yes! The Fixx is in and on shore! Fantastic puzzle. Woodford Reserve to celebrate.

On Shore.

For about a week I've had the earworm "Metaverse Girl." Soon (I'm sure) to be released and trademarked by Madonna.

On shore 🏝!
Took me a while, but then noticed something odd and it lead me to the mechanism!
Very clever construction!

I am on shore.

I noticed something right away and EAgerly STarted moving through the grid with nary a concERN. And then I came to a SCREECHing halt. But then I had my bOWL of leftovers and returned to the grid--and there it was! Very fun and clever puzzle with an earworm taking me back to my youth.

I've been busy shoveling the past day and a half so I think I will have a different kind of ice and salt--a margarita please.

Heh, I always seem to have more trouble with Shenk puzzles than Gaffneys on any given week.

Here's a whiskey to your beer.
If you like Rows Gardens check out my mini ones here: viewforum.php?f=41. Nudges are free on the off chance I’ve solved the meta.
