Ashore. One-two punch from the team. Surprised me when I realized first step, and then Natasha beat me to the next.

On the beach. A few shallow rabbit holes before the AHA moment. Nice one.

Ashore! I was about to turn out the light and go to sleep after a very long day, but the finished puzzle was sitting there and it called out to me in a squeaky little voice that I found difficult to ignore (and I’m glad that it did … 😜).

Sorry to report, still adrift at sea. And working this weekend doesn’t help the chances. We shall see.
