This might be the first time I was able to back-solve a puzzle. I stumbled into the first half of the answer using a different mechanism. Made it ashore either way!

I guess I'll join all you 22As with something or other. ;)

Ashore!

Thanks to Mike Shenk for another genius construct and an early holiday gift to all of us.

May a muggle win the mug!

I'd fill mine with holiday cheer!

Submitted, but forgot to post -- on the crowded shore with y'all... Thanks to Mike for the nice gift. Nice to have a "streak" of 2 in a row!

Safe holidays to all!

Love the new "Surfin' Dino" avatar! Watch out for that rock!

Suggestion: Each week more than a few of us (see @Bob cruise director ) change their avatar. It might be fun to see old vs. new. Is there any way to create a forum for this?

Ashore! I think this is the first one where I knew the answer as soon as I saw the metanism

@JAQT I will ask the experts but I expect that the history is lost. I don't even keep it for myself.

I finally got a chance to dive overboard and swim to shore. There’s quite a crowd here. It would seem appropriate to have a cup of eggnog … 😜.

Wow, talk about being late to the party! Finally ashore after wrapping, wrapping, and then . . . . more wrapping....! Mostly for the little guy below - - who could resist?

Cheated again - - hit the bottle before solving (usually helps me). Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to everyone! Best wishes for a great 2024.

Finally got it with the help of the smarter people in the Zoom meeting. I put it away for a few hours and then it came to me within 10 seconds.
