Not seeing anything at all...not unusual. Not surprising since I have long decided that I am rarely on the same wavelength as MG

I'll jump into the Zoom room at 8EDT/5PDT if anyone else wants to do Isaac's Last Call.

Solved and submitted. Took longer than it should have because I meandered off the true path (seduced by a wily wabbit) to a path that led me to a dead end. Stopped, reassessed, and got back on the right path.
Now, a brief workout, then I'll have a 60 minute IPA and a cigar. Great to be ashore again!

I’m not seeing any connection. Very frustrating. I may try the zoom at 7, hoping to see something before then!

OK. After picking it up again and again every so often, we finally made the connection!
On shore now.

My mind at a loss,
Thought 'Seventy-five across.'
Sure, now I can toss...
...my hat in the ring.
Ashore. Isaac, you're a pal, but the lovely Mme M is pouring quinine and gin, which is as smart as ever gets a mixed drink.

Made the connection on Thursday. On the beach after a brief lesson from an 42-D..
A nice-n-easy one from Matt.

With my last ounce of energy I've crawled n the beach. I am in need of CPR.
Coconut, pineapple, and rum? One Piña colada, coming up.

Finally made my connection with the shore shuttle this afternoon.
That was a fun one , Matt.

Good evening muggles
Our final count is 3 on the ship and 196 on the shore.
And interesting note from the last two weeks
Two weeks ago (To Go Order - Rubidium) the WSJ had 1457 submissions with 85% correct and we had 176 on the shore and 8 on the ship
Last we (Buzz Cut - Hair) the WSJ had 1405 submissions with 87% correct and we had 174 on the shore and 9 on the ship.
Good luck winning the mug.

Just missed the boat (cutoff)! On shore, had to take another look after solving the grid yesterday, and glad I did!

Safely ashore after finding some time to look at the meta.

Well…I have thrown the “Hail Mary”. Couldn’t ignore something I saw Thursday night. Good luck to all!

After missing last week because I was literally on the beach 🏝 and too distracted to finish the meta, I am back with an 11th hour solve but too late to toast it with a Kyiv Mule.
Good fortune to all. I’ll check in tomorrow for the post metam.

It wasn't until I circled the alternate clue answers in the grid that the contest answer popped out - before that I thought I was just down another endless rabbit hole.
