Finally getting around to posting my old puzzles here on this forum.
Please see below for PCC#5 - "Grandma Means Love in Every Language" originally posted on Crosshare 08/26/23
[Level 3] Meta prompt: The answer to the meta is what I affectionately called my grandma, to whom this puzzle is dedicated [August 8, 1935 - July 31, 2023]
Note: the level is the intended difficulty I had in mind when I designed the puzzle, but may play differently since every solver has their own area of expertise... what one person may find easy, another may find difficult.
Have fun and keep in mind if you're ever lost at sea, google is your best friend (actually, I don't know if you'd get internet service in the middle of the ocean)

PUZ
PDF
Edit: The clue for 29-Across did not print properly in the PDF. It should read: The red ninja turtle's weapon (that looks and sounds like the letter Ψ)... If you are solving on PDF or PUZ please take note of the missing character Ψ... Note this does NOT affect the meta. Thank you to DrTom for pointing this out.
