Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's WSJ contest is titled "In The Country " by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week's contest is "something found in the country. "

If anyone is running Boston on Monday, could you let us know so we can follow you and cheer you on.

In celebration of the eclipse, Isaac will only be serving CORONA beer. He will not be serving Guinness or any other brands either on the ship or the shore. So we have an eclipse corona photo for the occasion.

And we have an eclipse diamond ring - seen briefly at the start and the end of totality

Ashore!
And still have time to make call for my show tonight!
Bespoke nudges available upon request (if I'm on shore, off the couch, in the castle, petting an un-bagged cat, ...).
Let me know how small or large a hint you want, or hit me with a specific question(s).
