Great puzzle! I made it to shore after my third long stare at the grid. Too early for a Guinness though—even for me!

I tried to share a song I wrote with everyone, but mp3 or mp4 can not be uploaded to this forum.
This is the link to the song on TikTok

Hubby and I are still on the ship merrily enjoying the company here and happy for those on the beach too. Still hoping to figure it out on our own, more confident now that our step 1 is solid at least!

On shore with nudges from some helpful muggles. Nice “aha” moment after a nudge but not submitting this one.
Always happy to provide a nudge if I’m ashore.

Good Sunday morning muggles

And welcome to our newest muggle @IAmForeverAhab great to have more muggles.

For our new muggles a couple of things. I don't put you on the muggle list until you state at least once that you are on the ship or shore. If you just ask for a nudge or a discord link you remain in limbo for now. Also there are several ways to get help. First you can send a PM to someone on the shore telling them what you have done and where you are stuck. Most anyone will get back to you quickly. Second you can go to the zoom solving sessions on Fridays at 4:30 pm and Sunday at 8 pm using the link at the top of the page. The third one is to get the link to Discord from someone who uses Discord.

Also check out @Wendy Walker's SSS today. It may require some googling and it is a sea state 5 vs the normal SSS sea state 3.

So far we have 4 on the ship and 169 on the shore.

Emerging into the ship's bar since yesterday to enjoy Isaac's famous brunch are KrisHendo and Collegetowngirl.

Making their way to the shore since yesterday are

And for last week let’s remember Dem Bones Dem Bones Dem Dry Bones… the ulna bone connected to the wrist bone… a great spiritual. This week is solved with neither music nor harmony

Late to it after being on a cooking course in Devon for the weekend. We think we’re on shore after some reverse engineering. As always, we’re in awe of how fast the page oners got it. 👏👏👏

On shore! Hope it's the right island, but enjoying sunny weather here now that the snow has melted off.

After much paddling in circles, made it to the shore, just in time for dinner.
