Got it. Took a while to figure out the final step to the solution.

On shore! That took a bit of looking, but my initial suspicions were right.

Ashore, after some contemplation. Feel much better after only getting halfway last week.

Given the hour and the small number of posts... I think you are not alone. We are definitely at the bar with you.

Finished the grid early but didn’t dare risk treading on that justly hallowed ground of Page One.

Now on to... the task at hand!

I actually see stuff on a Thursday ... would love to make some jokes here but I’ll save that for Monday. Let’s just say, very interesting!

Guinness me, perhaps intravenously. I don’t know if I have enough strength left to lift the bottle.

I see that answer too, and it is equally elegant. I wonder if both will be acceptable.

Guess this is the end of our two week streak. I see no way for us to make further progress with this one.

I'll need a nudge on Sunday. I'm getting nowhere with this one.

I'm pretty sure that my meta skill is gradually getting worse.

Finished the grid and immediately noticed...nothing. Still the same hours later.

Ashore!

I needed a bit of a yank, to get me out of a rabbit hole, so I won’t enter for the mug.

Good one, Mr. Shenk!

Holy moley, I just solved it. Amazing. I don't know what this second possible answer some of you are talking about is, but what I've found is a 100% lock.
