Sea Lanes

◆ · By BarbaraK · Published 2024-02-21T13:10:15.531Z

This is my submission for the February Midi Contest. The theme, chosen by January winner Cap'n Rick, was "The Sea". After playing around with several ways to use that for a puzzle, I decided to reimagine some famous lanes as sea lanes. Hope you enjoy this trip through the briny.

        Wow. That was really cute. What a strange surreal idea. But it works!
