Solved after a massive loading of the dishwasher. Now we can eat dinner and have a glass of wine.

Ashore. The first step came to me--as it often does--while I was driving my car. Perhaps I should quit staring at the puzzle, and start driving, sooner!

:D Close! That’s my home town of Beaver, PA. Not this year though. We’re having unseasonably warm weather, it will probably be close to 60 on Christmas day.

Ashore! A fun swim - thanks Mike! Hopefully tomorrow's MGWCC doesn't play like a true Week 4!

P.S. Just got a couple of extra clicks that didn't occur to me at first! That's always extra satisfying
