Ashore with a big assist from my wife.

Grid done. Dazed and Confused.

On shore. My kind of meta. Everything you need to solve is there but some of it is subtle.

Big help from my clever wife! Two heads are better than one!

REMINDER: All are invited to join us on our weekly Friday Muggle Zoom today at 4:30 pm Eastern Time. Why not start your weekend off on a "high note" and join us for some fun. And, if you have not yet solved, we'll make sure that you are "hitting" it correctly.

Hope to see you there! Click on the Muggle Zoom Room tab at the top of the page to join us!

Ashore!

With a friendly nudge. Though now I feel I shouldn’t have needed it. Grr!!

Very cool!

On shore. It's a little early for a Guinness... maybe just a splash of Shmailey's in my coffee. What's Shmailey's, you ask?

Shmailey’s Irish Creme – “When you care enough to give the very best, give Bailey’s. For everyone else, there’s Shmailey’s."

14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 cups half and half
1 cup Irish whiskey (doesn’t have to be the good stuff)
¼ cup chocolate syrup
1 tbsp instant coffee
1 tsp vanilla extract

Put into blender and enjoy!

Shmailey? You know him? My cousin!

On shore with a nudge!

Ashore with a nudge!

On shore, the "aha" moment for this one was really satisfying!

@Meg how do I get the store video of you making that purchase!!

Visiting family in Houston but on shore now. This week it is Lone Star me.

You're a couple days early for that.

Yeah, cause I think you have the walk (it MAY have to be a camel ride) THEN the epiphany.

Good Friday morning muggles

An interesting challenge from Mr. Shank - as always.

So far we have 4 on the ship, 57 on the shore and many more scurrying around in rabbit holes

Don't forget the 4:30 group solve zoom session today.

Today at close of business, I retire. So, what the heck, I'll have Moet. I believe they keep some in the back. I'll ask Isaac.

Smarter Half and I are still in the ship, and it's starting to feel like a permanent home.

EVJ and I are scurrying in rabbit holes. There must be a way out ….

Any other musicians here find themselves overthinking this? Finally got it, but only after realizing the puzzle doesn't require knowledge of 17th century part-writing rules. Hope that's not a spoiler.

Whew, got it. This one is very much like another I remember also being way behind the pack in solving. You see nothing at all until, bam. I'm glad I didn't ask for a nudge. It would be very hard to nudge this without completely giving it away.

Still adrift, and I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet but I may need a nudge in the right direction...

(So many jumbled metaphors)
