A weekly meta crossword created by members of the forum. Difficulty levels will vary. Hints are usually available starting Wednesday, and solutions are posted on Sunday.
"Man Overboard!" - two words that no ship's captain ever wants to hear - unless, of course, they're the title of meta puzzle!
I got the idea for this one while listening to "A Storm Too Soon" - a true story of disaster, survival, and daring rescue on the high seas by Michael J. Tougias. I highly recommend giving it a read or a listen sometime, but not before you've solved this meta! So strap on your life preservers and attach your safety harnesses because this one could get a little bumpy. I just hope this meta will not leave you lost at sea!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!
Solved, albeit via a shortcut that failed to appreciate the full elegance.

Gotta love the Captain! Great meta, but I have to say I never saw the mechanism other than getting it through the other information in the puzzle. But usual fun cluing and great construction. The captain is able to get more stuff in a puzzle than anyone I know' his Moderator thanks puzzle stills stands as the all time, most chock full, fun to solve metas around.
So off the couch and back to the Pandora
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
?! A great muggle meta!
