I'm pretty sure I'm on the shore but it's a bit more subtle than the ones I usually get (you know, the easy ones.....)
In any case, I'm going to treat myself since I was lost at sea last week after getting half-way home. Bon chance to all.

100% sure I'm ashore but not 100% on the mechanism. I'll work it out eventually. 😅

On the beach. Another great idea from Mike Shenk, elegantly executed.
