Thank you for the lively discussion and nudge just now - nice to meet you all as well! Won’t submit, but look forward to hearing what others came up with.

Good health and good cheer,

I see too many cars, that’s my problem. Hail Mary is submitted, I sadly admit defeat. First miss of 2022.

I am ashore--thanks to my fellow Muggles in the Zoom chat. Fun and friendly and helpful! Not submitting, but now I can look at something else for the rest of the evening.

Well, I have 7 cars in sight.... Just no cars that aren't in sight.

I admit defeat. Hmmm, this might be the first this year too. Not sure.
GUAVA is not an anagram of VAGUE and PEPPER is not a palindrome.

Our final report has 63 on the ship and 88 on the shore - many with hail mary''s and many not submitting because of too much seawater.

Good luck and well done to those who got it.

Thanks to a nudge, which the nudger called "a course correction" I am on the last minute shore.

Is there a place for the "Hail Mary" submitters? Like a leaky lifeboat? That's where I'm at.

I believe we call it a sandbar.

I am ashore thanks to @ZooAnimalsOnWheels encouragement. Turns out I was on the right track after all.
Still not feeling great about my answer but hey, a shore’s ashore!

Four wheels on my car,
Together, we’ve driven far.
Still stuck in ship’s bar.
One world. One planet. One future.

If anyone is still giving nudges at 10:35 EDT Sunday night, I’d be grateful for one. Thanks

Wow! I can't believe I just got this one. That gives me hope I'll keep my MGWCC streak going.

I got nothing. I submitted a Hail Mary and am going to bed. Good luck, everybody!

Room for one more? I came up with a rather inelegant answer last night and was hoping it would get supplanted today by a sure-fire, bona fide, undeniable, positively unequivocal, slam dunk, for shizzle, dead on, mug winner. Buuuuut, methinks it's more like 'dead on arrival'.
