Is Al Sisti reading? Al, 17a has a pretty nice bass line, don't you think? That would be Reggie, right?

on shore. First time on a Thursday, i do believe. Time for a Hendrick's martini. Hope there's a cucumber in the fridge for the garnish....

On shore now.
I noticed the correct mechanism early but got distracted by a red herring. After I took a break I went back to my first idea and made it work.

To me, that was a perfect meta. Challenging but doable with a great aha moment. I’m going to crack open my new homemade limoncello to celebrate.

Took a little time, but firmly on shore. We have a half-emptied bottle of champagne in the fridge, might as well celebrate!

Grid done, and have an idea for the mechanism, but land is still in the distance!
