Ashore, thanks to the encouragement from Zoomers. Natasha had the AHA moment that lifted us above the waves.

Thanks to a nudge, I am ashore. I was going to try to reverse engineer the answer. But all I was doing was reverse engineering a rabbit hole.

Marking myself on the ship, readying for my swim. Just finished the grid.
As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all — the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.

Whew. Dragged ashore by a lifeguard named @Joe after trying my best to arrive by swimming and circumnavigating the globe in the opposite direction. Skipping the drink (and the submission) this time. Thanks!

Haven't read the comments yet, but I'm guessing that, compared to last week, there will be a number on shore who felt good they didn't have to Rho to shore and order a Chi cocktail from the tiki bar (which won't taste good if you just Eta Pi).

I know, I know... You're all going, "Psi..."
And, I'll tip-a my kappa to you, sir......

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

On the shore with a boost. A significant one.

Tough meta to start the new year.

On the ship. From where I stand, it seems more likely we'll get locked in the ice than make it to shore.

Ashore thanks to @SamKat9 for towing me off the wrong beach and throwing me a lifeline to the correct one. Not submitting but counting it as a solve. Happy New Year one and all.
