Spent all weekend thinking about the mechanism, but couldn’t make it work. Finally saw something and things coalesced to answer. Not feeling 100% for me, but I like it.

Nope, nope, and nope. Even with two rounds of nudge with the Smarter Half, I am still with Isaac and Sergeant Schultz. I think the more of these I do, the dumber I get.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Looks like we’re in the same boat.

Ashore at a beach. Doesn't matter which one. They have hockey playoffs on every night here.

Overthinking is my super power. 8-)

Our final count is 9 on the ship and 174 on the shore

Good luck to all winning the mug

And get the clouds to part so I can get some photographs of the lunar eclipse

I got nothing. If you look hard enough you can always find rabbit holes. Now just thinking of a good four-letter-word to use as a Hail Mary.

I had a ridiculous weekend. So, all the pressure was on today, when I first got to the puzzle. Right under the wire, I am on shore.

Dragged ashore by the friendliest muggles around. thanks @BarbaraK and @femullen
They even made me feel less bad about missing the obvious!

No magical genius feeling for me this week. Oh well.

Ashore about an hour ago. Long, but great day with my youngest son’s graduation and moving him out of his apartment.

Must be the effects of the eclipse underway, but I took one last look at the meta and suddenly experienced that AHA moment. On shore now and ready to gaze skywards again.
