Thanks to the zoom call, we good. And so satisfying.
Don is 100% right about the use of factored out in the solve.

Well, not looking so good for me this week! I'm not throwing in the proverbial towel just yet, but there will be precious little time for metas this weekend. So, I'll wish y'all a blessed Easter, and thank you for welcoming this newcomer to your community.

Ashore during the zoom call. Really clever construction. Heading to the Bahamas Sunday so I'll go with a Bahama mama to really get in the mood.

Just solved it. At first I thought the method would be too confusing to actually work. But honest to goodness it did! Can’t believe it.

I made it ashore with a lot of help from life rafts and signal flares.

6 hours, 52 minutes, and 42 seconds later (solo!), I am on shore, still reeling from this wild journey.

I wasn't sure if I could sleep if I didn't get it. Now having arrived on this brilliant shore, I'm still not sure I'll sleep anyway.

Wow. That is all.

(Hey, I said it was a wild journey - this is as presentable as I'm going to get.)

Oh my, I jumped off the ship too soon.
I thought for certain I knew exactly what to do.

Isaac, a fluffy towel, fresh printout of the puzzle, and a whiskey sour please.
