Ashore!

Swam… I mean stared at it… all morning. Like @Adajeo, got frustrated enough to try all the basics.

Yes, it’s definitely SAD. But worth it!

Can’t wait to tease my kids, since they didn’t see it first.

On the boat here. I wish the mechnism worked the way I want it to. But alas...

I've been on the boat since Thursday at about 15:25 CT. I'm kinda getting used to these cocktails.

On shore, needed the zoomers to avoid making this one a multi-day event. Regards to all,

I'm still lost at sea, but it couldn't possibly be because I'm an idiot (perish the thought), so I'm blaming Issac's martinis.

Bunnies typically don't make many sounds but I think I heard a few under-the-breath expletives coming from this one.

I am still on the ship. Isaac has run out of everything but mALort, which is "not" a wonDERFul situation! Mike is stumping me with this sLY puzzle--I am definitely not loCATing any answers yet. A few more hours before I lower my hopes for a mug into the sepulCHER.

This bird's song sounds like it is saying "free beer". If only...

On the ship. I see something but can’t quite put it all together.

Ashore.

(After much floundering, I was tossed a very nice nudge from ship4u.)

For those of you still on the ship, Isaac's Last Call on Zoom is at 8 pm Eastern. Come join us, even if you have solved! All Muggles are welcome!
