I'm in for a farthing!

Ashore. Methinks.
I suspect that's a net amount after any fees charged by PayPal/credit cards.

I am hoping the goal is met this weekend. If not, it will be time for some muggles to double dip.

Think I have it. Would welcome the opportunity to confer with someone on mechanism and answer. Please PM.

Also, where does one find the info on how to donate for the forum?

Thanks

Thank you....it was like a meta...the answer staring me in the face the whole time if I just looked at it right.

On the ship, but I finished the grid and donated so hopefully something will kick in.
Thanks to all who help with this site!

I am new here and to these puzzles! My dad asked me for help on this today, so obviously I spent most of my work day working on filling out the grid and trying to figure out the mechanism. I have come up dry, and would love a nudge from someone already ashore!

Finished the grid, couldn't see the answer. Took a catnap and there it was! Safely ashore before Good Friday service!

Ashore now.

Found a way to be half right at first, but needed a nudge to get out of the kelp and to the nice Sandy part of the beach. will be curious to see if others saw what I saw.

Won’t submit, but will raise a glass for the community and the elegance of this meta.

You'll get this PBS totebag and the complete DVD set of "The Three Tenors," volumes 1 through 15!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

On shore, feeling relieved that last week's failure was not the start of a huge slump.
As some-- one or a few Muggles-- agreed a couple of weeks ago, this is the most wonderful, friendly forum. I am happy to count myself among the donors.
