Ashore with a nudge from the Discord!

Edited to add: SUPER tough grid. No idea how people solve in <10 minutes. I'm in awe.

Took awhile to see the light, but add me to the shore party. This calls for the good bourbon!

Wow. That was... special. :shock:

Ashore (I think?) with the slightest of nudges from @Joe.

Ashore. Will give nudges if you’re stuck in the mud spinning your wheels😏
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward. ;)

If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

There's always the Friday Zoom, though I don't think Nurse Walker will like the reference.

Ashore!

Was hoping this was considered a bit trickier than it apparently is, since we're only on page 3 -- but, oh, well!!

(also, was hoping for one more piece of the puzzle as a confirmation, but don't see anything else!)
