Ashore!

Continue to be amazed at the clue masters' ability to create these metas! Amazing!

Not only are you solving while driving, now you want a Guinness? Sounds like a very questionable plan!

Somebody has to break the unending streak of "on shore" declarations. On the ship and looking for the oxygen bar. I'm blaming my muddled thinking on a case of pneumonia. In fact, I'll blame it for last week's failure, too.

Nicely crafted. We are pleased to be done, as we are still stinging from being one of the OTHERS.

Am I the only one who learned quite a few new words today? (I found the grid to be particularly challenging)

Anyway, I’m at the bar, waiting for others (too soon?) to join.

Excellent point. I was heading down for my two year old granddaughter's birthday party so it wouldn't be a time to drink anyway, but birthday cake me didn't sound quite right.

Lost at sea but think I know the main clue, just not sure what to do with it. I need a good nights sleep after last nights Dodgers-Padres game. Damn near feel asleep for the second Thursday Night Football Game in a row, though this week I was at home and not in the stands.

I'm on the same ship ... the "main clue" is obvious, what to do, what to do?

At sea and bellied up to Isaac’s bar with the rest of you.
What to do, indeed.

Isaac and me once again.

Get a puzzle - pick up on a clue

Examine the possibilities - and nothing

It seems these ain't your Auntie's metas anymore (lately it feels like :D )

don't give up - I'm off the boat and on the beach.

You can't guess this one, you need to solve it.
