On shore. Took a quick trip down one rabbit hole before getting my mind right.

Duh. Safely/eventually home. I don't deserve a Guinness, so I'll skip right to a refill.

Done and dusted. 99% sure I am on the correct beach, just a little iffy on the proper way to arrive at part of the answer. Hell, beer me. Yeet!

Got it, after being stuck for a while at the last step. Holding my breath (not literally) for the week 5 MGWCC....

On shore! I didn't think my first thought would work out, but it seemed to. This puzzle wasn't one of my all-time favorites, but I like it better after thinking about it some more, and at least I got one Gaffney meta this week!

I need to get faster at solving the grid to compete with you speed demons. Solved.

On shore! Interesting bit of trivia at 25D. Also, Christopher Adams has a meta this week. http://arctanxwords.blogspot.com/

My guess is that the need is to get faster at solving the themed answers, but that guess doesn't help me as much as I'd like it to.Beth Tyrpin wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2019 5:00 pm I need to get faster at solving the grid to compete with you speed demons. Solved.

It took a bit of struggling but I am on the shore enjoying one of Al's Guinness's
