Done and dusted with a nudge or two and the help of my husband. Put my colored markers to very good use. Happy to be on whatever page on this meta.

Can someone send me an invite to the discord server? I'm struggling with this meta, seems like I'm not the only one!

Ashore (after a LOT of swimming in the wrong directions) thanks in part to the Zoom chat. I'll have a nice barrel-aged stout and a towel. :D

Not seeing it. I'll keep grinding on this but after trying a couple dozen different rabbit holes, I'm not hopeful.

ASHORE with LOTS of help from the zoomers! Brothers were on the right path but must have tripped a little and couldn't get back up!

Dragged to the beach by the ever-friendly and patient Zoomers. Thanks for saving me from drowning!

I usually wait a while, but I think finishing this mental workout may call for closing the laptop early in favor of opening a frothy beverage. Cheers folks!

On the beach.
Thanks to the Zoom Room crew!
Gaffney ought to get a flag for taunting for clue A-14. That was NOT my response!

Dragged over the line so hard my jeans have holes in them. Thanks to the Discord and Zoom folks. Definitely not submitting this week.
If you like Rows Gardens check out my mini ones here: viewforum.php?f=41. Nudges are free on the off chance I’ve solved the meta.

Ashore, but with a lot of help from the zoom. I won’t be submitting, but am glad to be relaxing on the beach instead of tearing out what little hair I have left. I wondered if you needed to take 46A to solve.

On the shore with nudges from Joe. Caught in the undertow for 24+ hours. Rabbit hole after rabbit hole. Tried too many sophisticated, logical approaches. Now drinking a Goldeneye Pinot Noir and starting the Saturday Variety Puzzle (Loopholes). 😉

After staring and staring, took one slight nudge to chart a path to the sand. Enjoying a Man O' War cocktail, cheers all!

Sitting with the bar crowd this weekend. Looking forward to the famous Sunday brunch with Isaac.

And going back to work on last week’s puzzle that I haven’t solved yet. From reading the comments here perhaps I’ll have better luck with that one!
