Parted the waters and walked to shore! Relaxing weekend ahead.

Just finished grid. Have not parted the waters yet, so will ask Isaac for a Holy Moses White Ale (it's a real thing!).

sitting down at the bar, ordering a black & tan, staring at this messy little grid, wondering about all the fishies nearby ...

On shore and bedraggled after a tough swim. Due to one of my (many) areas of ignorance, this took a while to solve completely even after I had determined the right path. Nice idea, and well-executed, but not one of my favorites I'm afraid...

Ashore.Tougher grid. I figured out the meta solution and then, after knowing what I was looking for, found the “solution”. This will not be one of my favorites.

Such fine, soft sand on this sunny beach!
Really enjoyed this one. Was stumped for some 90 minutes, then it all started to unfold.
Clever indeed. Good one, Matt!

Ashore and drinking a large light beer. Don't judge me.

This was fun once I saw what was going on. Very clever indeed (Matt, not me.)

While the path seemed clear, it still took some time. But onshore at the end.

As an aside, there are a few red herrings that led me astray for awhile. Don’t be fooled Muggles!
