Blink river - figured it out

Finally!
Spoiler:
1st go to grow charger, walk straight 8 steps (toward turtle area), stop and put a grow (#1) all the way to your left (this will be in front of a stone column).... use one path to get to turtles & lead one turtle out to the grow you just placed.....place another grow (#2) in front of the third row w/ a blue button (use spy-eye to check), be sure to place it far out and parallel w/ the grow #1, then lead the second turtle out to that grow. Go to blink charger, use blinks very carefully as follows: blink 1: get through red gate, blink 2: blink to turtle that stopped by grow #2, blink 3: blink to grassy area in front of row 3 blue button, blink 4: blink to row 3 blue button, blink 5: blink back to grassy area, blink 6: blink back to turtle by grow #2, blink 7: blink across to turtle by grow #1, blink 8: blink across to main area, step on green button to let down gate, get 4 jewels, blink 9: across to star
Hope that's understandable.
I'm stuck

Sorry Nancy ,I don't understand it.
Where do I put the first plant?
Which row do I need to blink to? The 3rd?
I can't get a good view with all those water trees.
I'm also stuck at the Ascent.

I made it after many times cos I always started blinking to the first turtle. Then I read the spoiler again and I knew my mistake.
Thank you Nancy!! Now I understand it!
Now on to the chomper area in the Ascent again.

I'm sure I really understand this spoiler. I have managed to make back to land and the green button, but I am out of blinks to get the star, what did I do wrong?

Count: 1st blink to first turtle, 2nd to shore, 3rd to button, 4th to shore, 5th to turtle, 6th to next turtle, 7th to safe land. You should have 3 blinks to reach the star

This is how I have it:
walk across green stones to turtles, get them in position, walk back across green stones to get blink power, then
1 to turtle
2 to the land strip between turtle and blue button
3 to blue button
4 back to land strip
5 to turtle
6 back to land where turtles origionated
7 to the other turtle
8 back to main land and green button
no blinks left to get to star
Am I not supposed to go thru the red gate toward the left after getting my blink power? Do I go back around?

Bold part is where you're wrong. Blink from turtle to turtle
No, you don't have to go back behind the red gates. Follow my instructions, and you'll be fine

Would you mind starting from the beginning, cause now I am so confused.

Never mind, I was putting turtle one in the wrong spot and wasting a blink, thanks, I figured it out. I feel so dumb

That's quite allright, Dylan. I'm happy you figured it out by yourself, feels good, doesn't it?

Sometimes it does, sometimes it is just darn frustrating.

i think i'm being incredably dense. i just can't get this one! can someone please supply - in VERY easy to follow steps - exactly what to do? i just can't do it and it's driving me crazy!:?:
Nancy - your directions are brilliant - but can you simplify for us thickies? i can't figure out how to get from turtle #1 back to mainland as i don't have a line of sight! and if i move it, i then can't see it from #2! help!
Thanks!
more blink river

You're right, because of all the trees, your line of sight is obscured. The trick is that you actually don't have to "see" where you are going. If you can figure out close to where you want to go, you can right click & point the blink there. Even if you can only see leaves, if you're pointing on the turtle, you'll get the blink arrows & be able to blink there. If you're pointing at only water, you won't get the blink arrows. (same theory for placing grow as well, put your grow arrows where you want to go, even if it's covered by leaves. You might have to trial & error the correct path. IF all else fails, get some graph paper & map it out. That's what I have to do sometimes.
Hope that helps!
I've quit & restarted the game from the beginning. Somehow, I was a key short for the big stone bridge (7 keys) and the gems/coins on each side (2 keys each side). I can only open the bridge & one side & can't figure out where the other key might be. I hate the beginning puzzles that I have to do w/o a spy-eye. Hopefully I can find that other key this time through.

Maybe Loirae has some pics to pm you. I haven't, sorry.

I redid blink river last night & I think my instructions are wrong:
when you place that 1st grow, it's 6 steps from the grow charger, not 8....try it that way
I don't know how to do screen shots. If you can explain or send a link I could try.

I can not PM them. Even though all my inbox and sent boxes are empty, it says I've reached the maximum for attachments. Since an image can't be put in spoiler text, I'm waiting to hear if it is ok with Midnight Synergy to post the images here or if it's too much.
Until then, here's the best description I can write:
The Grow flowers and turtles go here:
1. From the Grow charge pad, walk 6 steps left. Directly below you there should be a clear shot to the tan rock. Place a flower one spot north of it. Walk over to the turtles. As one comes up the right side and turns left, stand directly above the grassy area so the turtle must turn right instead. He will come to rest on that first Grow flower. Move before the second turtle comes around.
2. Walk down to the bank of the river that is kind of ...mountain shaped...like this:
|
---]
-------]
--x]
|
Stand in the corner of it I've marked with "x". (You should be directly right of the second buch in the turtle's grassy area.) Point your Grow arror as far to the right as you can, haly of it might even be off screen. Grow a flower there. Move up 1 and left 2 so the turtle is directed into the water. He will stop against that plant.
Blinks:
1. Blink across the gate
2. Stand on the left river bank by where you sent the second turtle in:
* blink right to the bottom turtle
* right to the island
* right to the button
* left to the island
* left to the turtle (who hides under a tree branch)
* up to the other turtle (also hiding, I think)
* up/right diagonal to land. (you'll land on the tile 1 right from where you had to stand to grow the flower.)
3. You should have one more blink charge so you can collect the gems and blink to the star.
I hope that helps.

Loirae, you can delete you own postedMB. Click on the pm button in one of your posts, there should be a link there to all your uploads.

Thanks Inger, but that's not the part that's over limit. Only the part that controls the PM boxes. I can post an image here with no problem. But I don't know if Patrick wants that huge of a spoiler posted yet in a way that can't be hidden. I decided to go with written text for now and perhaps at a later date, if approved, images.
I hope the descriptions above are not to hard to understand.

I see, sorry.
I don't know about how understandable your hints are, since I already know how to do it.

Let the people talk, so to speak

You need to walk all the way to the Camp.

by nancyec
you have to go back to the area w/ the merchant, talk to all the little guys around there, one of them will give you the spy-eye.....always talk to the different little guys in each area, ask them all the questions you can, sometimes they'll give you stuff
