Marion and I are successfully on shore! She did all of the rowing and I sat on my tush in the stern..........however, our feet are in the sand!

On shore. Happy to be there after a soggy couple weeks at Isaac's. Plowed through it in the amount of time it took Tiger to play these first 3 holes at the PGA today, so feeling pretty good about myself.

Put something cold in the ice chest for me -- I'll need it come Saturday's weather. Or if someone would care to share the answer . . . .
Hopefully the mojo will carry over to the rest of the series

Ashore with a Bud Light Cola Hard Soda Seltzer. Tastes Like Coke Until It Doesn't!

Finally on shore thanks to the zoom, a smart group of people who pulled me kicking and screaming from the Warren of rabbit holes. 😁

Thanks much to the ZOOM crowd for the insight and the gentle prods. Am now safely ashore and looking forward to a peaceful weekend.

Good luck, Muggles.

Another fun zoom session! Thanks to everyone for coming on. It is always fun to put faces to names and get to know others a little better. I always learn a bit more about puzzle solving from others. Thanks again and have a great weekend!

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Ashore. My mind is beginning to think, “OK, this is Gaffney,” or, “OK, this is Shenk.” Scary.

Finally ashore thanks to the Zoom solve. These always seem utterly impenetrable until they don't. Unfortunately, looks like the only beer left is a sad solitary can of Milwaukee's Best. Oh well.

A quick swim to the shore once I had the chance to look at it.

I'll take a local Duck Foot brew in honor of last week's Buzz Cut puzzle:

Towed ashore by the Zoom room. While I won’t be submitting an answer, I will be drinking a beer tonight - Bitburger/Deschutes collaboration. Thanks to all on the Zoom call, and I hope a Muggle wins the mug this week.

Alas, the grid is done but I am not. Searching, searching, Saw something but can’t believe it is what I need. Will nap to the rumble of thunder here in northeast Florida and try later. Good luck to all!

Ashore! Visiting family near DC, so I got a late start.

Ashore!

Didn’t look at it until just a bit ago. Noticed something right off when filling the grid and just followed that to the solution. Happy to find it quickly.
