Good afternoon muggles
A belated report due to the rare Patriots win (sorry Steelers fans) and other things this morning.
So far we have 1 on the ship and 122 on the shore.
Full report tomorrow

Now for the status - solving buddy @MaineMarge was the captain and crew this week getting us to the shore. I was hanging on the back of the boat with a random flutter kick - sometimes it helped us a bit getting to shore and sometimes it only served to get us off course.
The power of having a solving buddy who thinks differently than you do. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Ashore, after entertaining grid and clever but classic meta. Best way I know to punctuate a Friday.

Because Isaac seems lonely, I'm gonna stay here at sea with him for a while.

Glad I came. Wendy's dog alone was worth the visit.

Thanks to some afternoon Zoom nudges, I'm able to join y'all on shore.
Stay warm and cozy this weekend on the beach, everyone!

Ashore!
A couple of misread clues slowed the process.
Black Russian please.

Still at sea. I'm busy visiting family, so it'll be tough to spend time on it.

Ashore at noon.
@Bob cruise director and I had fun with this great offering from Mike. As Bob says, having a solving partner is the way to go. And it adds loads of fun to the process.
