Ashore! Didn't think this was all that easy. Played kind of like a week 2.5 Gaffney for me. I'm surprised this is already page 6.

Woke up at 3:15 with an idea that turned out to be the right one. Back to bed.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Ashore as well! First time in a while I got there without any nudges. Kinda doubted myself for a minute but felt more reassured upon seeing such a crowded shore. Fun one!

Ashore! Having better luck with "Matt puzzles" recently--and harder time with "Mike puzzles". Not sure if that's saying something about me or the constructors?

I've got nothing. Given the crowded beach, I'm obviously missing something that's plain to everyone else. On the plus side, with the bar so empty, Isaac has plenty of time to restock the liquor. So that's good.
