I'd say that you are simply using your head! :)

Super-fun puzzle! Got a late start as we were at the fabulous Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg today, admiring the animals and ingesting once-a-year favorites like soft-pretzel-covered hot dogs and black-and-white milkshakes (yum!). Couldn't resist this sign at the Rabbit Exhibition.

Ashore. I'll make my own eggnog as you can't buy it any more.
I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.

Finished with the grid. I'll be letting this one marinate a bit before starting my swim.

Very much still on MS Pacific Princess. I think I know what needs to be done but I have zero knowledge on the required subject. I may have to listen to Robin Williams and take some prescribed fukitol pills this weekend.

Finally ashore! I was stumped but I think my brain got rewired after cuddling my son, so I'm not sure it's a solo solve ☺️

Glass of chablis, please!

No longer ashore. Drowned!

Ashore. My single scull (no discord, no nudge) was blown slightly off course by what looked like a slight inconsistency. So I had an interesting but hardly rabbit-worthy moment.

On shore! This one was quick for me, this time the mechanism I wanted to use right away ended up being correct.

Ashore... i have a random question... what does guinness me mean? or all the other alcohol references in some the comments? is it just your favorite thing to drink... like a celebratory drink on the beach after making it to the "shore?"
