On the beach! Had the right idea but didn't take it far enough. Thanks to @ajk for the encouragement!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Very cool!

I’m on the shore. Well, I think I am anyway. Will confirm with y’all on zoom. 😁

Well, after reading the rest of the posts, my answer is probably not there yet. No solid click. I’ll keep pondering until the zoom.

Wow. Ashore. I echo everyone else regarding construction. A masterpiece. Great aha moment.

Stay well

Solved and ashore. It was worth the work!

There’s an excessive heat warning on my beach, so I’ll have a cooler filled with ice.

Good morning muggles

a challenge from Mike and most of us are not up to the challenge. We have 5 on the ship and only 56 on the shore.

And if history holds, there may be standing room only for the 4:30 zoom call today.

Good luck

After changing my strategy (and finding a couple of letters I missed), I am safely on shore!

Ashore with m'lady and it feels so good! I cannot comprehend how one would even go about constructing such an elegant and crazy-making puzzle!! That said: Beer me (i.e., Diet Coke, as usual...).

On the boat. My first brilliant idea yielded nothing. So I'll try again later.

Then it's the wrong answer. This is 100% and a very, very solid click. It's about as explicitly laid out an answer as one has ever seen in a meta.
Thanks! Well, it's back to the drawing board.
Finally got it. Whew! Agree, this is 100% confidence. Made some bad assumptions earlier, such that I walked right past the correct methodology.
