Grid was quite tricky,
But the meta came quickly.
Ashore, ‘neath canvas.

Lost at sea this week.
Hope to keep intact my streak.
My brain needs a tweak.

I donated $11 immediately upon the PayPal link opening, then just saw that we were at $1696.08 and donated another $4 to put us over $1700, but there was an unannounced deduction and we're sitting at $1699.66.

Finished the grid, but meta still eludes me. Would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

Donated too!

Ashore!

With Isaac over here. I’ll keep coming back to this one, given the reports of the answer jumping out at people! But for now, I’m lost!

On shore, finally, after an assist by our Cruise Director!
Happy Easter everyone!

On shore!

I rate it a 3.5 for difficulty.

Ten minutes ago I was going to come here and describe the beautiful blue vistas surrounding me on all sides. Nothing to perturb the smooth liquid sheen; not the slightest of hints of a "rabbit hole" [sic] in the water. But that plan has fallen through, like many others. I have found a latch, I think -- not yet a solution, but a definite handhold (in the water?). So at the moment I am still floating along. Later I hope to report a change.

Solved the meta on my own for my fifth week!
Patience (and early guidance from wizards) has led me to my streak
This forum is greatly appreciated
So of course I donated!

THANKS

Finally saw it! Ashore.

100% on shore.

On Shore....caipirinha in hand, sand in my feet.

I’ll bet we are on the same page with that. Look forward to seeing what others have to say.

I am guessing I know what the two of you are referring to. And at first I considered it inelegance as well. But there are two reasons I came up with why it wasn't an issue for me. Or at least that was my rationalization.

Weird, finally got the meta but the answer was my first guess for an entirely unrelated reason.

Me too.

Well sitting here languishing, reading about all of the people who have found the AHA (in the GRID and in the META) and wondering just how dense I must be. I was SURE I had the key to success but it turned out to be off key. Well I still have time and hopefully a post-enlightenment. My "punny" self has a 'Hail Mary' all locked and loaded in case.

Happy Easter to all! I think I grossed out my dear wife, she asked what we were having for Easter dinner and I said Rabbit...I thought it was WAY funnier than she did.

Would appreciate a nudge in the right direction! I have 2 strong possibilities in mind but really need something to elicit the AHA moment...
