Off the couch, and thoroughly satisfied - thanks, Cap'n!

Grid completed at breakfast. Nothing but a couple of not-too-deep rabbit holes. Came back to it after lunch and there it was.

OTC!

Haven't started yet. But when a Capn Rick puzzle is a Gentle Ripple, a woozy always fails to get the gist.

EDIT: Yep.... no idea so far.

EDIT: I think the MGWCC has melted my brain. There is nothing here.

EDIT: Wait... was that always there in the puzzle?

EDIT: Okay, solved. Fun and easy once the pixel fairies got around to adding something to my screen that I swear was absolutely simply not there before in any way.

OTC. Thanks, Cap'n!

OTC Forgot I'd already done it!
Fun again!

OTC. Thanks, Cap'n Rick!

OTC.....fun one, enjoyed it and the quantity of easter eggs

OTC… full of winks and nods to my first suspicion. Fun one!

OTC! Love how the Cap fills his grids with Easter eggs!!

OTC and out to enjoy my own serene and scenic spot here in northern Maine
Thanks Rick!

OTC! Once I sat back and really looked I saw the path.

OTC...thanks for another meta with lots of easter eggs, Cap'n Rick!

Gotta work tomorrow, so I'm going to post the Wednesday Nudges an hour early. Coming right up!

Wednesday Nudges

Here they are!

"I've been looking everywhere in the grid, but I don't see how ESSAYS works as a hint."

"Oh, wait. Maybe it has something to do with the clues?"

"ESSAYS, ESSAYS, hmm..., oh, I see it! (Or should I say "IC it!" )"

"Just look at all those symmetrically-placed entries whose clues start with S and A!"

Those 6 entries kinda paint a picture of a well-known writer from the 19th century who spent time at this "thoroughly" satisfying place.

Please PM me if you're still stuck! Good luck!

Delightful! Off the couch with gratitude for a fun solve!

Took the first nudge but I'm finally OTC! Enjoyed it. Thanks, Cap'n Rick!
