Made it ashore after some very strange sight seeing on Rabbit Island.

I had an answer but mulled it over and found a better one. Glad I didn’t send that email to wsj yet!

I have an answer, but the MG method of imputing is not quite solid.

Have an answer buuuuuut only at 70% confidence. I'll be spending the weekend looking for more of a confirmation than what I have.

Update: After staring all evening I was just about to post I'm up to 85%, but then looked one more time as I climbed into bed and now convinced my answer is 100%.

I needed this one after the last few weeks

On shore, reasonably sure.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Got it. I thought it was going to be an all weekend puzzle (like last week), but I got it while driving...
