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.)

Ashore! Fun puzzle! Thank you, Mr. Gaffney

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.

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...

Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss what you've got

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.

Ashore. I had not had an AHA in a long time.

First Time Player - apparently I made it to shore. Very fun to figure it out

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!

I could not find it either! Not sure what is going on or where you all found it but thanks for posting it.

I signed up to get e-mails when the daily puzzle is available, and the e-mail contains a link to the puzzle.
