As long as it's now page two..... I've been stuck for thirty minutes. Solution should be right here. But, I can't make it work. Maybe that's what chriscross meant.

We should have a weekly contest to see who can come up with the meta explanation in the fewest words. Not sure how to do that without spoilers, though. Wonder what the over/under line would be this week?

On shore. As we like to say after a long slog (I mean, solve), Drinkin' Time.

On the beach. Finally!! The cabana boy is used to hearing me scream. Time for a margarita! Iām thinking the Friday Zoom call will be well-attended.

Hmmm, I'm with STL-D. I feel like I've cracked the key to solving the meta, but I'm not solving it.
Still on the ship.

Dang! That was a tough one!
As I'm looking back over the puzzle and my vexation is quickly fading, I'm realizing how clever and neat this one actually is.
