Well I completed the grid on Thursday but saw nothing and was going to give up. Came here tonight to read some of the comments and got enough ideas to have another look. Voila! I am ashore and agree that there is no imbalance at all. Cheers!

Ashore Friday, just didn't get a chance to post after the Zoom call. Needed that to clarify something that didn't quite seem to fit with the rest.

Just took me so long to see this one, even with a couple of giant shoves to shore, but am finally clear of the surf and ready for some R&R.

Ashore.

Late zoom with the kids as we were all busy this weekend. Family meeting... I mean... visiting in my case.

Nice construction! Took a bit to see step 1. Kids got there before I did.

Spent way too much time rooting around in different rabbit holes, and now see the general direction to go - but I'm not there yet!

Good grief. Would not have gotten to shore without Don's (ship4u) help.

Happy to be on the beach.
Have a good week, Muggles.

Finally on shore--a six hour car drive gives some forced solving time. After a weekend of family festivities, I think I'll have some ice-cold water once we get home.

Oh--and I see the inelegance.

A tag team effort. We made it ashore, initially stumbling after step 1. Perseverance and Natasha's fresh approach brought us home. Very clever construct.
