Count me with Isaac again. Hopefully this boat won't suffer the same fate as another one that sailed on April 12th.

After two weeks of solo solves and managing to get a marvelous view of the eclipse from Waco, TX, I'm now back home and stuck on board with Isaac. :? Have reached out for a nudge, we'll see if it helps...

Update: Thanks to an appropriately light nudge from @BarbaraK , I'm now on shore. Do I *have* to drink a Corona, or can I just have water... ;)

On shore. It has been a while for me, too. I took the long way around this week, but glad for the win.

Ashore - An hour or two working in the garden seems to help me see things better!

A late departure from the boat to the shore! I was on the right track but making it far more complicated than necessary.

On the shore! Took awhile, but once we saw the mechanism, it all fell into place!

Solved! Very clever and fun. I've been working on metas for four or five years now, and it STILL pleases me ridiculously to solve them.
Happy to provide nudges if you see that I have solved.
