On shore. I saw step one right away, but for some reason took a while to find step two.

I have an answer...just not particularly happy with it. I'm not ready for a full-on hint, but can somebody confirm that this is a "You Definitely Know" solution? Oh...and happy new year, everybody!! :)

Still adrift and getting seasick. Noticed the obvious but I'm incapable of jumping to phase 2

Beached! I immediately saw what I needed to, then swam around the boat for an hour or so looking for how to use it. But, in the end, I managed to row to shore. Awaiting the MG, which I assume will not be the mind bender that last week's was - WHEW!
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!
