Mayday!

Formerly known as the “Sunday Summer Substitute”, editor Cap'n Rick now takes the helm for 'Smooth Sailing Sundays'. As The Commodores sang about Sunday morning, the SSS will focus on easier metas. SSS will also support smaller grids and will mentor new constructors on request. Puzzles released each Sunday around 8am Eastern. Nudges released same day at Noon Eastern. New constructors are welcome.

Sssolved! Nice one. :D
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

I was looking for something to wind down the evening and this fit the bill.
Had to get a couple of the themers by induction (not a huge beer aficionado), but that's why it's a CROSSword puzzle.

Lots of fun Wendy, and smoooth. Kind of had an idea, but there were some things that made me look away a few times and head down rabbit holes.

Thanks for a Sunday funday.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
