Grid done. Hello Isaac.
For the bird lovers here, here are a few picks of the local cardinal. It is not actually a cardinal but likes impersonating one.
Apologies for hogging the page, but my message formatting skills are pretty much non-existent.

I am adrift on the bRINy sea. The fates are not aliGNEd for solving this week. I am on vacation with some college girlfriends and laCK access to a printer. I've never farED well with a homemade grid. Add to that the fact that we are only page 3 at this late point in the evening! I deDUce that I will be with Isaac all weekend unless my luCK drastically changes!
This is my 201st meta. That's an odd number to celebrate, you may say. But it is my 200th hidden bird. And this particular bird is #200 on my life list--with one exception/mistake I've seen all the birds that have appeared in my posts. (A life list is a list of all the species of birds you have ever seen--alive and not in captivity). I have enough birds on my list for another 9.5 years of metas.

Very impressive construction. That said, I agree with the strong opinion from @HeadinHome. At a minimum, extra information should have been provided. A meta like this could push fence-sitters over the edge.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Spinning and spinning... and then the light came on quickly. On shore... Terrific construction Mike Shenk! Right up my alley. This demands a Keg Grove Holey Jeans... With the Lemonade Rim for sure.

Lost at sea. Seeing some things but so far no idea if they are a path to the beach or a rabbit hole.

Easy grid. I see what must be the first step. I see what must be an obvious hint.
Aaaaand I'm stalled. Stuck. Lost.
There's still plenty of time, but it doesn't look good for me.

I woke up in the middle of the night with an idea, and it turns out it was the right one! It was also going to be my WAG. Happy to be on shore; this one was WAY out of my knowledge base!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Finally got it. Even though I had an inkling, would still be at sea without AaronT giving me a link to Discord.

I am in the exact same position. First step found quickly. Found a confirming hint later. And..... nothing I've tried since then worksBeleaguered Castle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 7:39 am Easy grid. I see what must be the first step. I see what must be an obvious hint.

Have to revisit from time to time over the weekend.

I didn't get to solve this yesterday because it was released at midnight here in Amsterdam (I'm here for work), but I am on shore.
