"Getting Possessive" - March 11, 2022

[DurtManB]

New to this type of puzzle. Baffled so far on this one.

[ReB]

I'm declaring myself on shore this evening. Trust it will not turn out to be an island in the morning light.

[Trey]

Marion and I slogged to shore.........took a little longer than it should've but we both rowed and got us there. Luck to all!

[Cindy N]

You know, this works so much better when you focus on the correct thing. Right idea, wrong rabbit hole. But, I found my way out and happily ashore.

Interesting weather here. Windchill in the single digits tonight, tomorrow temps near 50. At least we missed out on the snow that's hammering my buddy out in PA. Although we could definitely use the precipitation here (still in Extreme Drought status here), I don't mind too much that I don't need to shovel!

[PHOFER]

Ashore. A lot of weirdness came together at the end.

[drbockel2]

I think I’m in shore but I needed a push as there was a hole in my snorkel.

[aaugusti]

I’m still swimming, and could use someone to talk my rabbit holes out with.

[TheDeej]

On the ship with Issac. Got what I believe to be the first part, but having trouble finding the next step. Lots of interesting wabbit holes along the way.

[JoeS]

On shore. Struggled with the last part, but then saw something I ignored earlier, which put me over the top. I am 95% sure. Glad to be off the boat today because my daughter and I are spending next week on the boat in Mexico. Plan to join Isaac often.

Ashore, but not thrilled with the final leap. Would have preferred a different, better-known phrase but that one has 10 letters.

Forgot to post that I finally made it ashore, but only with the help of the group Zoom solve on Friday, so I won't be submitting. I was somewhat on the right track, but would never have made the leap to step 2 without the guidance of those on the call. Good luck to those submitting!

[SusieG]

I am declaring myself ashore. I didn’t like the answer until just now — finally saw something I missed the previous fifteen times I looked at the puzzle. Good luck all.

[Jackie88]

On shore, but not 100%

[ZooAnimalsOnWheels]

I didn't have a chance to look at this one until this morning, but I've made it to shore! At first I thought there may be an additional step, but I have my 9-letter phrase and this was a solid click.

[littlegreycells]

Ashore thanks to @BarbaraK! It was quite a head-smack moment for me but I got there eventually

[eagle1279]

I’m on the ship and alert because neither the Love Boat nor Arizona have DST. But I guess I still have one less hour to solve. I think I have the first steps, hoping for post-enlightenment.

[Cbaudhuin]

Ashore as of yesterday afternoon.
Celebrated with a frosty cold (Capital Brewery) Supper Club lager.
Clever puzzle as usual.
