On shore. My usual G&T, if you please!
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D

Ashore! Had a bad feeling for a bit that I wasn't going to get it (especially because it's a Gaffney-involved puzzle), but then it all became clear. Good thing, because I'll be in Raleigh all this weekend at my daughter's college graduation (Go Pack!). Last one off the payroll. Whew. In honor of the date, I'll have a margarita with extra salt, thanks.

On shore. Stressful day (internet modem issues and next-door jackhammering construction) except for (a) the crossword puzzle (which is never stressful whether I get it or not) and (b) the upcoming bottle of cabernet.

Wow - Matt and Peter. Talk about a power couple.

I’m on shore. Now back to MMMM
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

On shore after struggling for a couple of weeks. Have I got my mojo back, or was this one just easy? It would be nice to have it back before Matt's delayed week 5 tomorrow.

Solved quickly. Ashore. Will hydrate and abstain from the single malt given the week 5 tomorrow.

Loved it. Ashore. Also love it when guest constructors are involved.

Stay well all.

Actors and artists and athletes, oh my!

Utterly stumped in the NE corner. Time for a shipboard beer.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

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.

That was a funny experience. I looked at it for a while and had no idea what to do. Tried a bunch of things. Put it down for a few hours. Picked it up again and got it in 10 seconds. What makes that happen, and more importantly, how can I make it happen every week? 🤣

Great to be on shore for sure this time. Last week I stopped short at a sand bar and sang Do Re Mi and didn't take the next step. So now I am really starting a new streak. (My excuse for last week - I never saw the prompt and didn't come back here to look again for it.)

After a late start on this, 12+ minutes on the grid and about 15 minutes on the meta.

100% sure.

I missed the first launch, but jumped over and met the second one part way to the beach. Sorry, Isaac, but 3 weeks is long enough.

I'm starting on the pit for the Kahlua Pig, just make sure you ignore that big plate of red herring.
