I'm far along on a path that seems correct but I can't get the last step.

Can I get a nudge please?

I seem to be VERY close to shore, but I'm missing a final step. Is this a common thing this week? Anyone willing to give a nudge?

Send me a PM with what you have so far and we will see if you need a nudge or the coast guard (hopefully just a nudge)

As frequently happens, reached shore with no time to spare. Clever and cute!

Made it to shore a few days ago. I was so excited that I started drinking one fresh beer after another. It's Oktoberfest season after all. Needless to say, I forgot to add my name to the list.

After a solid year of at least trying every week, I fell off for like 6 months and have gotten completely rusty. I thought I had it this week, but now I'm lost at sea. In sight of land, but lost. I may need a nudge.

There is (almost) no better feeling! Welcome to the land of rabbits.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

I had everything but one piece of this for most of the day. I’m finally on the beach. Better late than never!
