On shore.

The old man showed the kids how these metas are done! (Well, I found it pretty quickly and they didn't want to spend the time figuring it out.)

And no discord occurred (or was involved in solving).

Officially on the boat and having a cocktail. Would appreciate a nudge from anyone who’s onshore.

Floating on the briny. Guess I'll go get a Cabernet. It worked last week . . . .

On the beach! It was a traditional Friday evening quick-look before quiet time, prospecting for tidbits my brain could chew on while I slept. (This often works quite well.) But suddenly . . . Oh My!

On the ship.
No shore in sight.
A shorebird mocks me.

On shore... Nice one. Now what am I going to do over the weekend?

Finished the interesting grid and had an idea I shared with Isaac. "Pour you another?" he asked. "At least" I say dejectedly.

On the ship with many ideas, but no clear path to shore just yet. Looking for a light nudge if anyone is willing - or at least looking for someone to share my ideas with

still at sea and I plan to stay here for a while... getting comfortable not knowing everything instantaneously :) I'm practicing patience until the big reveal

Sneaky puzzle with, as others have noted, at least two thoroughly defensible answers.

I will be SHOCKED if the officials do not honor either answer.

But happy to have dragged myself to shore, and THRILLED not to be spending my entire weekend on this mishegas.

Anyone else working on the MIT Mystery Hunt? Our son was in the winning team two years ago.

Finally got one of the (I think?) harder ones with no hints or nudges! Give me a double!

Ashore and submitted what seemed like the obvious answer, only to log in and find that there might be another?!?!? :cry:

It's pleasant having so much company aboard for a change. Laughter, the tinkle of ice, the murmer of conversation. Getting a session IPA from Isaac this morning, 'cause I think it's gonna be a while. With grandkids en route, meta will take a back seat till Sunday night.
