I think I'm ashore, if my meta interpretation was sound!

On shore as of 10:28 UTC-0500
And where was that post, please? I've not seen it, but folks are posting, so I assume things are up and running again. Thanks to all who helped with the fix!

On shore after I popped into the zoom, someone said one word that gave me the AHA and I popped back out to solve. As always, very clever.

Equipe Canuck are ashore, thanks largely to the Smarter Half. I'd never heard of a couple of these. Gotta broaden my tastes, or at least my vocabulary.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Onshore and loved the puzzle. The MGWCC has me completely stumped though. Thanks so much for all the work on the website.

Grid done but meta is like being on an ocean cruise:
Day one: Welcome aboard!
Day two: At sea
Day three: At sea
Day four:…well, you get the picture…🤔
I shall persevere!

On shore as of thursday night. (Just before Covid hit me and my husband). This puzzle deserves a glass of fine Chianti.

Ashore!

I’m excited that after attempting about 50+ of these puzzles on/off for a couple years, they’re starting to click for me more often. Perhaps more importantly, when I’m stuck at sea, the solutions seem reasonable, as opposed to utterly frustrating/impossible.

So if you’re new-ish, stick with it. The Aha and Click will appear more often.

Done Thursday, and done yesterday (Friday) afternoon, after being guided along by the Zoom crew. So no submission.

Thanks to the crew, and to all who slaved diligently to get the site up and running.

Question for the previous mug winners:
Did you receive your confirmation from the same email address that we use to submit the answers?
I want to make sure my spam filter won’t rob me of a potential mug!
