Ashore with a lot of help. This is the greatest puzzle construction I have ever seen.

Ashore, I think (although I’d be utterly at sea without Wikipedia). Very clever construction.

Ashore! 🏖️ I accidentally backsolved it by guessing the correct artist and then noticing the confirmation. Nice puzzle, but now I wonder whether there was a more complete approach.

Finally on the beach. Quite a challenge but now I can enjoy a cocktail.

I believe I’m ashore, but also feel I’m missing something!

Still with Isaac, but it's early still. I have not yet finished the grid baffled by two entries. I'm glad I started early on this one.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Vowed I wouldn’t start this week’s meta until I finished my continuing ed for license renewal. (Now that’s a carrot that got me to finish in record time!)

On the beach. Always enjoy how Mike designs his puzzles.

Late-night epiphany!!

Stared at it for 35 minutes or so before work with nothing. Printed out the grid and, in a few moments, there it was! 'Tis the meta life.
