Mayday!

#1

Post by Wendy Walker »

The meta answer is a holiday.

Hello, friends, and welcome to this week's Smooth Sailing Sunday puzzle. I created this puzzle at the behest of our SSS Skipper, Cap'n Rick, and I hope you find solving to be a reason for a celebration! Thanks to Rick and Alan Kennan for their enormously helpful contributions to the finished product. Joe Ross's assistance was invaluable.
Nudges later today. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did creating it.

Mayday!

Sssolved. And may all your holidays be happy!
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.)
