TGIF, or maybe I should say, "TG it's only Friday." Just hit a dead end after a long, deep rabbit-hole dive. I'm at the bar with a few other friendly faces. Gonna give it a rest, enjoy the company, and revisit it later.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

On the beach. Fun metanism! Tricky... final part. I can see why some are a little uncertain about their answer.

My Meta self esteem is way up after these past two weeks! Fun puzzles that weren't too difficult but not too obvious and very rewarding to figure out (in my opinion). Great start to the weekend!

I thought I had solved this pretty handily.... but decided to wait to submit until I felt 100% confident. Good thing I did because I might have ruined my already very slim odds at winning a mug.

Suddenly - the light went on in my head. AHA

Ashore with my favorite MaiTai, hand made with just a tough of rum float.

Cheers!

Well, I was wrong. I guess I have to swim back to the boat.

Ashore with help from the Muggle Zoom which I greatly appreciate! It’s fun to hear the thought process during a group solve and even more fun to “get it” with certainty.

Grid done yesterday, took a break to solve MGWCC, now back to find the breadcrumbs I scattered yesterday. That is, if the rabbits haven't eaten them!
Aka, still on the ship!

Thanks to a muggle who corrected what seems to be a common error, I am ... Still at the bar. Not loving this meta. Ah well there's always next week.

Glad I checked the letter count before declaring myself ashore! Took a bit longer but I got there :)

On shore!! 🏝 time for cocktail!!
Last night we went to a new bar in town called “Birds of a Feather” and I had one of their signature drinks ( the hummingbird) in a unique glass!!! ( see photo). Maybe I’ll make another here at home. ( fresh squeezed blood orange juice, vodka, and Prosecco)
I need this cocktail!

I had a great start but stalled. I took one last look before hitting the hay and there it was. So much fun to solve such a great puzzle! Happy to be ashore!

On the boat with Isaac.

He's teaching me about drink construction - and more importantly, how to listen.

Will let it stew for a while.

Got a very late start.

Excellent meta imho
Done stewing. On the Beach!
