Ashore! I thought it'd be easy for some reason and while the grid was harder than normal for me, the meta wasn't.

This was a team effort even if we weren't in the same room! Fun to finally see the last step together! Have a great weekend!

Solved jointly with Mrs. D! She saw the final step before I did.

Ashore!
Recommend paper and pen(cil) - but managed to solve on phone. Fun one.

Loved it. Ashore and Bravo MG. It's 5 pm somewhere, don't feel like hitting the sack yet. Some JW Blue, no Cuban tonite

One of the earlier shorings for me, but the other early ones I got were much squeezier than this. I was just about to give up multiple times, but each time just before I did, I noticed something else. Very nice puzzle.

Ashore. It was a fun and satisfying solve. Now for a wee dram.

On the beach! A satisfying AHA moment!! I'll take some ouzo, straight-up no chaser!!!
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

On shore! Kind of glad I didn’t get to this until about 10pm, because the late start meant that by the time I got stuck and thought I might try to get some Discord help, it was too late at night and no one was around. So I persisted and GOT IT ALL BY MYSELF! That last step was a doozy!!

I had no idea before I found this website that I could even start on Thursday!! Although I do prefer paper and pen to solving on the computer. Tomorrow is a busy day but maybe Saturday I can join y’all ashore!
