Still at the bar on the ship. I thought I had something but I couldn't make it work for all five. Still looking...

Definitely a tough one. Needed to radio Sea Tow to haul me in, but I'm on shore.

10 pages of posts and I still have nothing. Well, I guess I can go back to the MGWCC, where I have... nothing. Anyone have a TV Guide puzzle?

Ashore after a kind and subtle nudge that took me all day to make sense of. Satisfying!

Isaac's last call Zoom session is at 8PM Eastern. Everyone's welcome, shorebirds and those still at sea.

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Didn't get much time to sit in this one. Seeing it's a (legit) Gaffney puzzle, think I'm gonna end the weekend still on the boat.

Totally lost at sea. I can't even make it to Isaac's bar.

Ahhhhhh, finally got it thanks to Isaac’s Last Call. Great puzzle, Mike! More nudges required than appropriate for submission, but fun nonetheless with a lovely group of aha-preserving (actually, aha-enhancing) folks. Cheers, all!

Our final count is 33 on the ship and 109 on the shore.
Remember to join us on Tuesday at 7:30 ET for a discussion of both the WSJ and MGWCC metas (beats watching the election returns and no politics)

Ashore thanks to the helpers at Last Call. No submitting for a mug for me, but good luck to all those who are submitting!

That's the thing, recently Shenk's puzzles look more like Gaffney's and viceversa

Thanks to a friendly nudge from @arecibo, I am now safely ashore.

Pretty demoralizing to win the mug last week and not be able to solve this week. So it goes.

I didn't see anything every time I picked it up since Friday. Then we've been on the road all day today. Still don't see anything. Oh well.
EDIT: Thanks for the nudge. It came fairly quickly after that. Fun one.

Made it to shore, needed a nudge from WendyW to get started, then took awhile to find what I needed to solve. Phew!
