"Pop Duos" July 7, 2023

[aschuchert]

Ashore. Sidetracked until this morning due to an extreme day of spring cleaning.

I’m making red sangria; let me know if you want a glass!
(Or 2, or 3……!)

[ColinM]

Ashore. Took longer than I would have liked. I needed to spend more time considering the hint in 44D. I really like it. Perhaps my most favorite Shenk puzzle ever.

[SamanthaA]

Ashore at long last.

[Ineedhelp]

ashore

[jimbo1]

Ashore.
Was distracted for a while by the clue that turned out to be what it advertises.

[Bob cruise director]

Good Saturday afternoon muggles

A fun meta from Mr. Shenk with the result that we have 5 on the ship enjoying the AC and Isaac's company and 188 on the shore.

And we welcome our newest muggle - Ineedhelp - who actually does not need our help becase he/she is on shore

With Isaac are

Good luck with the meta and the grid

[Grover]

Shoot, just missed being included in the big list. Ashore nonetheless. Fun one - should have seen it sooner.

[Annabelle]

On shore for the second week in row! Fun puzzle, nice trick to the meta!

[diplomatt]

On the beach! Fun swim. Sipping a cup of coffee from the local roastery.

[Relic]

Real slog of a grid for me, not good considering the late start. I'm still in the bar pondering what 44D is trying to tell me. Clueless so far.

[KscX]

Ashore. I know I’m there but am missing a piece. To be discovered…. *edit* ah- now I see it.

[Alvibu67]

On the beach!

I had to let this one steep overnight, then it came to my fresh eyes.

Long Island Iced Tea, please!

Allison

[DianeA]

Ashore. difficult grid for me, and the meta didn't come easily. But when it did - love that satisfying feeling.
How about a Gin & Tonic, pls.

[Franky_T]

Ashore. Thanks to Wendy for the nudge in the correct direction!

[Alvibu67]

Muggle nudge - is that a “mudge”? A “nuggle”?

I like them both!

[eagle1279]

Ashore after a great deal of empty staring. Also soon empty will be a glass of Sun King Wee Mac!

[Andy100]

ashore! just had to not overthink it lol

[sharkicicles]

Finally got a chance to look and on shore. Nice one!

[Tina]

On shore!

[Joepickett]

Ashore!
