"Happy Together" - February 25, 2022

[CPJohnson]

I'm still on the boat.

[Barney]

I'm still on the boat.

You probably have my usual seat. I don’t abandon it too often, so enjoy.

[Bayside Bomber]

Quick trip to the shore. The wife figured it out while I was still filling in the grid!

[KscX]

If I stare at this grid long enough will the answer just pop out?

Sometimes I end up “magic-eying” my yoga mat. Groovy downward dog. Hadn’t seen a real one in a long time until this! Thank you.

[KscX]

Does anyone else have this song stuck in their heads? Gotta love the French horn player . . .

Thanks for sharing that. Those vocals are great - and sound so happy together!

My (now 21 yo) son had a teddy bear that would play this when you squeezed its paw. Awwwwwww! We all loved the and the song. In fact, might still be in the attic…

I used to be so good at "seeing" hidden images, but I cannot get this one. I used to just blur my vision and the image would pop out at me. Now that my vision is blurred naturally, I couldn't decide whether to use my glasses or not....but in both cases I have been unsuccesful! I may PM you to find out what I should be seeing!

Hint, (not that they help with Magic Eye) it's very appropriate for not seeing the metanism.

It took a while, but I think I'm on shore. Finally.

[WSJosh]

Not quite ashore yet, I’m guessing over half way there though…

Finally made it ashore, after waking up in the middle of the night having figured out the last bit while asleep! Time for a hurricane.

[RicoTheSwede]

Gasping on the sand at last, with hypothermia setting in... The flash of insight came after a second glass of bourbon. Sometimes it's best to have the reward before the struggle!

[Notbitter]

On shore after a late start.

[sphorning]

Just got to the meta Sunday afternoon. It's happy hour with Isaac! I'm going to need a few...

[Bob cruise director]

Progress to shore has slowed down

Our final count is 11 on the ship and 209 on the shore

Good luck winning the mug

[regfish7]

On shore! Was a little stuck until a nudge from mom. Had been relatively on the right track but then got a little derailed by overthinking. I need to stop these Sunday evening solves!

[PHOFER]

Joining what appears to be a crowded beach. Late start, quick solve, fun puzzle.

[martimeryard]

Still on the boat here. Not looking too good for me this week.

[katnahat]

Thanks to a very helpful Muggle, I'm finally onshore. The solution took a while, which I attribute to my inexperience. I just couldn't see it. Looking forward to Thursday.

[rexthree]

on shore. got a late start but got it done. i really enjoyed this one.

[Kas]

This swim took way longer than it should have, but finally dragging myself out of the surf!!

[Chantellebeal]

On shore!!! I completed the grid Thursday and thought I had the mechanism. Then our family set off for our annual ski trip. I just now remembered to get back to this. I was on the right path! Now enjoying time in the mountains!

Hint: it’s what I kept seeing when I worked this meta!
