ashore4us!

It was great to see everyone who came on the Friday Zoom! We had a record 37 attendees, many of whom are regular participants, along with many new faces! Let's "give three cheers and one cheer more" to Stephanie who attendended from across the pond in (Old) York, UK. Special welcome from your erstwhile underlings. Judging by the smiles and laughter, a good time was had by all whilst the meta solve proceeded. Special thanks to our seasoned solvers who lend a lightly guiding hand to the group. Also, thanks to @Joe Ross for explaining the problems with the forum server and its solution. Have a great weekend everyone!

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!

It's safe to go back in the water... Or to the shore as the case might be? Had fun with this one! 🏝️

Ashore and hungry. I had the right idea all along, and my first answer was good, but didn't smell right.
Some stretching helped my brain see the light.

Another week where I finished on Thursday, no agonizing over it on the weekend.

Been ashore since late Thursday night, following a post-midnight inspiration that put me on the right track.

Stretch is the word.

Personally do not care for “fathom Matt’s brain” puzzles.

Ashore on Thursday. Very nice meta — interesting, different and fun. Oh, wait, they’re all different.
