bakpao

While I'm very happy that my baklog is sufficiently replenished by now, it's perhaps even greater news that @shyeheya will be covering for me while I'm gone! Technically I'm still covering for shye though, so my turns will be covered by the person I'm covering for. But then if shye were to suddenly be unable to post and one of my baklog puzzles gets posted instead, I'd be covering for shye who was covering my turn which was covering shye's turn..?

Anyway, inspiration for today's strange shaped Sunday comes from this year's 24HPC!

Today's puzzle is a Nurikabe (Triangular)!

Rules:
Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and no 6-cell hexagon is entirely shaded. Clues cannot be shaded, and every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the area.

GAPP 101 🧐: Connectivity is more constrained than usual on this grid type. Pay careful attention to which cells have to be shaded in order for all shaded cells to connect to each other!
