Good Saturday morning muggles

The tenders to shore have been full for the last 20 hours. And Isaac is sending ice and supplies to keep the muggles happy

First welcome to our newest muggles - GirlSleuth, ChannelCat and skrrch. Always great to have more muggles

We have 235 on the shore and one on the ship helping Isaac load supplies for the shore.

On the shore are

Let me know if I missed anyone in the crowd

And for @LizD and others, my current book is The Man Who Won World War II by Henry J. James and the audio book for the car is Postwar A history of Europe Since 1945 by Tony Judt

On shore. Good Gaffney puzzle.

Re-reading 'The Nine Tailors' by Dorothy Sayers in print, and about 1/3 of the way through the Agatha Christie canon on Kindle.
Happy to provide nudges if you see that I have solved.

Late start but quick solve. Had a bear of a time figuring out one thing but pushed through.

Ashore! Once I got the meta (with incomplete data points) was able to back solve a point of confusion. As always, Matt gave us a good one!

This was fun. I've missed solving but life has been in the way. I'm ashore. Right now a big glass of peach tea sounds good! Hi to all my Muggle friends! See you on the beach.

Came ashore last night, but had no computer access until now. Enjoyable ride to the beach, but rather crowded destination. Folks trying to escape the heat?

As for books, I just finished Nerve--an oldie but goodie horse racing mystery by Dick Francis. And now I am enjoying Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan--about the friendship/love between Joy Davidman and C. S. Lewis.

I solved it and thought I posted it earlier, but maybe I didn't submit. I enjoyed this one.

Somehow somewhere we must have crossed path in Dagobah. Always good to see Yoda avatars out there.

It’s so hot here in Texas that I took a longer time staying in the water for a little refresher. I came ashore as a margarita was nicely prepared for me. Cheers to a great weekend Muggles!

Ashore! Good fun!

Ran the Bix 7 this morning, got some time to work on the puzzle this afternoon. It was nice, no banging my head against the wall for days.

Late start/early finish. Felt Shenky to me.
