Greetings, friends!

I have the pleasure of filling in this week for the traveling @Bob cruise director.

Reminder: Monday, June 19, is the Juneteenth federal holiday, so this week's meta solution won't be posted on the WSJ site until after 4 p.m. Monday. The reveal will, however, be posted HERE on the Muggle Forum just after deadline (thank you, @hcbirker!).

EDIT: On the shore, 4:16 p.m.

Ashore. Clever.

ETA: At least I think so. I mean, it seems right. But this time more than some others, would it shock me if there was a different interpretation of the answer? No it would not.

Safely ashore… sending out an SOS for a G-U-I-N-N-E-S-S.

Count me on the shore, but I want to make sure I'm interpreting the clue properly.
