Ashore -tangoing around looking for an unoccupied piece of beach. This was SO well constructed and clever. Keep 'em coming!

If you're still there, the Chard Farm winery just down the road is really good.

My rabbit hole was indeed a quick dead end - my sincere thanks to the extremely kind Zoomers for providing a guiding light toward to the shore. Happy to be on the beach while I await a blanket of multiple feet of snow. 8-)

Several ideas gone astray, an idea that bore fruit, then a few seconds of "What" and finally the shore came into view. Ashore and happy to be here among what seems to be the immediate world.
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!

As ones who actually did need a bit of a nudge or at least some direction, the Zoom Room was great help! Thanks again to you all

Thank you to zoomers and Heidi ❤️, I'm on shore, but I needed a lot of help. You are all the best. I'm hoping for another solo solve soon. 🤞🤞

Thanks for a great zoom session everyone! It is so great to see everyone and I can't think of a better way to start the weekend!
Don & Cynthia

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!

This NC Tar Heel is on shore! Grid and meta solved. Beer me! Love Mike's surgical precision with these puzzles. No one is better.

I can't believe it. After several weeks of not making it off the boat, I finally made it to shore. Forget the Guinness, I'll have an Old Fashioned.
