I’ve said it before, I'll say it again... I hate the puzzles everyone calls "easy" because those never are for me. I must look at these oddly because the more obtuse I often see relatively quickly.
So, on the ship and waiting for a drink.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

I’m with you! I see nothing and feel a little foolish while everyone else is onshore.

Ashore and hoping Elsa doesn't make it hard to distinguish shore from not-shore.
I finally remembered to do what I usually forget to do.

FWIW I wouldn't call this one super easy. The path is short, but the trailhead may well be initially obscured.

Ashore! Nice to be done on Thursday for a change.

I'm right there with the both of you! Any critical thinking skills that I might occasionally possess are being drowned out by a song I sang in a high school musical (title: 'Cos I'm a [64A] Nana).
EDIT: and just like that! Post-enlightenment! PHEW. I will take pity on my Muggle colleagues and NOT perform the aforementioned song on our Tuesday Zoom call.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Generational differences. The song I thought of was the one that goes, "If you wanna be a top banana. . . ." (People often said that my father looked like Phil Silvers.)Wendy Walker wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 7:35 pm Any critical thinking skills that I might occasionally possess are being drowned out by a song I sang in a high school musical (title: 'Cos I'm a [64A] Nana).

This one was not easy! At least not for me. But no amount of *work* will get it either....
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

On shore! Late because I went into my actual workplace for a meeting.

Weirdly I’m in my forties and I’ve never heard of the musical, but I used to watch Sgt Bilko with my grandpa.

On shore ! 🏖.
I agree with Woozy, you don’t see anything until you see it!
Good one! Right up my alley!

Onshore! Took a while to see, but no bunnies running across my path this week.

I assume that's wear the Sleeping Bear Dunes are? When my son was at U Mich we spent a weekend up there. He fooled me into going ALL THE WAY to the bottom of the dunes at the overlook. (The really, really steep one with the warning sign, below.) So I showed him by challenging him to race all the way back up. I won. Easily. In my mid 50's. Against a 21 year old.ChrisKochmanski wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 5:37 pm Ashore!
Literally. On Sleeping Bear Bay, in northern Michigan.
Took me about 20 minutes but I must have lost about 5 pounds of water weight. And that was after he took me to the main dunes where you hike for a couple of miles (?) to the lake. He kept saying, "It's just over that hill..." For each and every hill....
