Count me on shore! And I'll have the other half of @joequavis's scotch & water.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Wow, it’s déjà vu!
“Backdrops” was the title of a WSJ meta just over three years ago - the one I won my mug in! So I liked this one even before I started. Hope this week is also lucky for muggledom.
Can I get my prized mug filled at the beach tiki bar, please?

I like the title. Figured out 3 of the 5 letters and knew what the other 2 had to be!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Ashore! Very cool.
Had an idea while driving home (yeah I sometimes try to figure these out on my head when staring at it won’t work). It didn’t get me there but it must have dislodged my brain, because I almost immediately jumped to the right path.
Cheers to the weekend and good luck to all!

on shore, this is the quickest I have solved on of Mike's puzzles, so I'm concerned I have come up with a red herring, but my answer seems tidy.....

Solved. But forgot to post. Stopped to make a Halloween cocktail! Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita.

Glad you folks are saying this is easy. Might as well be Easter today for as many rabbit holes as I’ve seen.

Count me ashore. I'm with Scott, JoeQuavis can have my water as well.
I dunno how y'all feel, but this was week 2-ish for me.

I'm on shore. I had a harder time than usual with the grid.
At first I went down a rabbit hole which turned out to be very similar to the correct way to solve it. While looking for confirmation, I stumbled on the correct path.
I'm guessing we'll have fewer than 1000 correct answers for the third week in a row.

Ashore (enjoyable solve and, as expected, an ingenious Mike Shenk construction).
