On shore - I got the mechanism right away but clunked through it incorrectly at first. Figured out my issue and made it.

Got it. That was cute.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
