Oh, I forgot to mention that the participation on this week's zoom broke an attendance record. I counted 89 and it all went smoothly!!

Got on the zoom meeting a bit late, but after some confirmation from @NebFaninCA that I had the right start, was able to grab a great wave to the shore!

Good news for you. But the Rabbit is very very worried.

@ship4u and @Wendy Walker great zoom call. We had exactly 100 different people on at one time or another however the largest number I saw on at any one time was 88.

A great information flow from the collective thoughts of the muggles.

And @The XWord Rabbit should have plenty of material this week.

Ashore.
After spending the day with Isaac, I was having a hard time rowing in a straight line to shore. Solving buddy @Bob cruise director showed me how to use the oars, and I rowed myself ashore.
Fantastic! Love ya, Patrick❤️

We love to play with matches! Every nice evening we sit by the fire at our lily pond

I shiver in my shoes when a Patrick Berry puzzle shows up - but on the good side, though they are terrifying, they are very clever. Safely ashore with our quartet of analysts!

On shore, had it 90% solved (by others' estimate) but needed the Zoomers' nudge to figure out the rest.
Regards to all.

Zoomed along to the beach with that nice crowd.
Must have been something from childhood holding me back as I was taught “Don’t Play With Matches”.
Congratulations to Bob Our #1 Cruise Director - Well Played!

Thank you and respect always to our Veterans.
