Since it appears to be all systems go for posting, I’m on the beach. I didn’t think it was super easy, but I got there eventually.

Not sure if we're OK to post, since the person who said not to has yet to say otherwise or modify that post. So remove this if it should not have been added...

I got this one. Not sure I've had one where I took as many wrong turns along the way and then finally reached the end.

Been ashore since about 6:15 pm on Thursday. Fun puzzle, got the grid done relatively quickly, but could not figure out the mechanism. Took a couple hours off and as soon as I got back to it, it hit me - although I did have to look up a thing or two. In spirit with what appears to be forum tradition, my next meta solve (hopefully next week) will involve a celebratory libation.

Still on the ship with Isaac. Haven't had a lot of time to devote to it since we are at another family reunion. Spent a bit of time dealing with some uninvited guests. The first BAT--in one of the bedrooms--was a little alarming. But we figured (hoped) it was an anomaly. As a night owl, I had been ELEcted to wait up for the post-midnight arrivals. But after we found the foURth bat, everyone was a bit worked up. Haven’t seen anymore since we taped up the trap door to the attic. Hopefully, tonight won't be as "interesting". And hopefully I will figure out the meta.

For the record, I reached the shore Thursday night. I had a chance to claim a page 1 spot after it reopened, but didn’t take it because it would have been unearned.
