On shore... took a minute. And the grid... definitely needed Google!

Have a lovely and safe Labor Day!

Made it ashore. Saw the mechanism very early this time. A rare feat lately. Puzzle itself was more difficult than usual.

On shore. Very late start for me and a relatively quick swim. Had a great day outside of Nashville riding the Natchez Trace parkway on our e-bikes then driving to Louisville. Arriving safely and solving this puzzle was a nice way to end a beautiful day.

Drank a nice chilean red tonight.

A safe (long) weekend to all.

On Naboo. Late for the party, but used my "special connections" (I won't name names) to be put on the guest list. ;)

For the record, I'm on shore. I got to the puzzle late, couldn't see anything, got distracted by a big rabbit hole, took the dog for a walk, inspiration struck on the walk, verified it when I got home, had to go to dinner with friends, and now finally have a chance to record my success while having an after-dinner Chartreuse.

Like others have said, it took me way too long to see this. But also like others have said, great aha!

Insomnia paid off for once. It’s almost 2am and I’m ashore! Tough puzzle. Clever meta! Time to let my brain rest now. G’nite all!
