"Which Way Did He Go" February 9, 2024

[JeffS]

Ashore!

[Dennis]

Ashore! It was a collaborative effort with my wife. I think it went something like this: we both saw something; she saw something; I realized something. Nice puzzle.

[JeanneC]

Ashore. Especially satisfying when it’s a Gaffney puzzle.
As I scanned the comments, I noticed one wondering what kind of comments we would see on a puzzle mentioning politicians. Uh oh….
Happily, I see pictures of vacations, families and pets.
Way to go,buds! Way to go!

[Cbaudhuin]

Ashore!
Fun and clever.
Will celebrate tonight with a Supper Club.

[Ann]

On the shore!

[Bob cruise director]

Good Saturday afternoon muggles

As advertised a belated status report has 2 on the ship helping Isaac get ready for Super Bowl parties both on the ship and on the shore. A luau super bowl party for both locations.
And we have a mob of 218 muggles on the shore.

The crowded shore includes

Ashore!!

[LuscombeDriver]

On shore. Loved it!
MBD

[Collegetowngirl]

On shore and wow can’t even imagine the work required to create this puzzle!

[BetterMonday]

Ashore! Fun one.

[Crest]

Safely ashore!

[aaugusti]

Started the puzzle this morning and made it ashore by noon. Maybe the fastest we have ever completed a meta.

[DianeA]

Finally ashore. Have not been very successful of late, so a win is good for the ego.
I'll take a martini, with olives, please.

[Bonnibel]

Just got around to this today.

Clever puzzle, as usual! This time I'm 100% on the meta. Last week I thought I was golden but I forgot to put the cherry on top. That's what happens when I rush to the finish line.

I'll have a hot toddy - it's a bit chilly here on the beach.

Cheers!

[sjm]

Got to this a bit late but got ashore pretty quickly.

[iblinked]

On shore!

[Kas]

I'm on the shore!!! ...but I am volunteering to stay at the ship's bar with Isaac: Possibly I am just a lovely person, but probably it's because there's better reception for the game than that crap TV at the tiki bar.

[dk letter]

Ashore! What a fun mechanism!

Celebrating on the beach with a glass of Hercules Mulligan. I was super skeptical of a cocktail in a bottle, but I thought it was excellent. It's a mix of rums, ryes, bitters, and ginger. I'd recommend it if you enjoy an Old Fashioned!

[MatthewB]

After quite a dry spell, I'm on shore this week. Nice to see the crowd.

[Ben B]

On shore! Had to come back to this 5 or 6 times before solving. Bravo Matt!
