Ashore!

Thanks to help from the Discord crew.

Mike Shenk is a seriously twisted person. And I mean that in the most positive way.

Ashore with help from @Meg ... but I fear my performance in tonight's limbo competition will be sub-par after that struggle!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I'm not on shore yet, but one thing I currently have is that I think the answer might be a certain property.

I can only think of one thing this can possibly mean and ... it is not that.

EDIT: Argh... inability to self edit. That was posted as "it is that" for hours.

EDIT 2: Okay, It *was* something I had thought of but for various reasons hadn't been able to pull off so I dismissed it. Could have uses a second trigger though. Maybe there was one and didn't see it.

So ashore and I'll have a 49. (Seagrams Seven and Seven-up served at 49o Fahrenheit)

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

so ... what happens at the WSJ when you send in an email and a while later you're looking at what you've highlighted and hit your forehead, check your sent email, and you've left off a letter, so you resend your answer with the correction?

This can't be the first time this has happened, first for me that I recall.

In my experience, this means I won't win a mug that week.
