I think it abnormal behavior
To get up so early and shave your
Rough stubbly neck.
You could be on deck
With Isaac, the one a.m. savior.
(Three's a charm, Isaac. And make it a double.)

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

On Shore! The grid was a little tougher I thought, but the meta came pretty quickly after a little thinking.

Grid was tough. I see some things that I know are part of the meta. Still trying to get to the aha moment.

Performing pirouettes in the sand. The first part leap onto the stage, the second part had a bit of stage fright, and needed some coaxing.
When the show started everything came into unison. This meta is a 100%, satisfying, fun click.

After sleeping on it, I managed to see the light... safely ashore!
It will be a hot toddy for me as I nurse myself back from the cold I received from grandkids at Thanksgiving. Totally worth it, though. Now on to decorating for Christmas.
Cheers, everyone!

Well that was a pleasant departure from the last few weeks of pure hell, of course it is a week one, but it is a FUN week one. Oh, and all I have to say is "Puzzle, you get me!"
Ashore for sure.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Still relatively new here...and somewhere swimming in the water, needing a nudge. Pretty sure my board is correct and picked up a couple of oddities but...

Wow. Page 8. After the last weeks, that's quite the start. Having said that, if/when I solve this, it will probably be in the teens! I think I have what I need for step 1. Now all I have to figure out is what to do with it!!! On ship for now spending more quality time with my favorite barkeep.

I believe, I say, I do believe I've jet-skied ASHORE!
So excited..

(Though, this was a bit more of a test of knowledge of idiom than the metas I've encountered, I thought...)

I am on shore after sleeping on it. Problem was that yesterday I did not read the instructions carefully, and was looking entirely in the wrong direction.

Happy to finally get ashore! I was at sea for so long I was beginning to feel like Philip Nolan.

On shore.
Grid finished relatively quickly, saw my way to shore on my walk. Good one, Matt!

Made it to shore. Last night I was clueless, but looked at it today and all was clear!
