Equipe Canuck are ashore, thanks not at all to the half south of the border. La quebecoise rowed while I swilled gin in the stern sheets. Reduced to ballast, me.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Didn't start the swim until late this afternoon, but I am on the beach!

Many of these meta themes are very clever, but I feel like this week's is particularly chef's-kiss amazing.

Cheers!

If I get the meta while doing sit-ups will that make me absolved?

Just now reached the shore. Worked the grid Friday night and didn't see the answer right away. Got really busy and didn't even look at it again until a few minutes ago. Found the answer quickly and submitted it just under the wire. Busy again tomorrow then headed to the lake Tuesday morning.
If you happen to be travelling through Alabama, stop in to see me.
