Made it ashore after a very promising rabbit hole...

I didn't find this one queasy at all but that may be due to tunnel vision.

Fortunately saw the mechanism right away and got there after a little time. This was a fun one for me. I don't always care for Schenk ones (I'm a Gaffney fan) but this was very nice.
Happy to provide nudges if you see that I have solved.

I was going to give up but then showed it to my husband who had no clue either. Then something twigged and the pieces came together. Happy to be ashore again! Another coffee for me.

Ditto here. Trying not to go 0 for 3 😅
Got two nudges yesterday, so thank you very much to @ELSavage and @Dickie_Dunn for coming to my aid. Still, I tried to apply it and felt lost, staring at it and trying to make heads or tails of it. Woke up this morning and before I even looked at the puzzle I suddenly knew what I had to do! Ashore!
