Bob,

Count me on the beach in NH.

...or Gilligan's Island if this is a pageant week.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a mighty mug
We wonder if it's pageant week,
All I'll do is shrug.

Ashore as of yesterday evening.

As with most everyone else:
- Quick swim
- Small chuckle
- Self-doubt ("Is that it?")
- Quick search for supporting material
- Resignation to the answer ("Well, of course, it has to be the answer!")

No, the metanism didn't sidle up behind me, surprise me by tapping me on the shoulder, making me shout "Ah HA!" while it handed me the answer on a silver platter. It was more that I saw the metanism sitting there contentedly, and I said, "So [Answer] is the answer, then."

Nice walk to the beach.
Ashore, and not out of reach.
Rum punch please… with peach!
One world. One planet. One future.

No life raft needed this time. Toes in the sand.

Beautiful day for a lemonade!

Ashore after giving the puzzle a second look. I did get confirmation that I had the correct solution!

Ashore, but unsatisfied.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Ashore and the sand seems pretty firm underneath us. This isn’t the first time we all try to make this harder than it is - confident yee and I all have it right. …mostly…

Good Sunday morning muggles

A slow but steady progression to the shore. We have 214 on the shore and two keeping Isaac in business.

Good luck winning the mug and don't forget the 8 pm ET Last Call zoom session.

And if you want to have some fun, do the Smooth Sailing Sunday meta "State of Play" by @ajk and @Guffman.
