On shore. I'm expecting another crowded shore this week.

I was hoping to close out the month with a difficult one like last month's Parting The Waters, but this wasn't at all challenging.

On shore quickly. Traveling this weekend so glad to have only MGWCC week 4 to worry about. I have a feeling we’re due for a tough one.

I am safely ashore. Perhaps a margarita for me? Or a nicely aged Cabernet. Bracing for the week 4 MGWCC

Meg, I cannot believe some of the false scents I followed!
