On shore. Took me a few minutes to get oriented. Gonna try a maple and mustard glaze on my steak tonight. Any other good ideas for next time?

I almost groaned when I saw Woodstock, but I have solved it! I hope there's still room on the beach for my towel plus 6 feet of separation.

There is hope for non-boomers!

Ashore. After a few weeks on ship (though I certainly was swimming in the right direction last week, I couldn’t quite get there), this was refreshing. Got it from two theme entries and a review of the performers. Nice to have an easy one every once in a while.

I’m on shore.

I didn’t know 17A, but my husband did, so he wants joint credit for my solve this week :)

That seemed like a lot of starred entries, so I was glad to see that the grid was still clean and smooth.

Ashore after some difficulty with the grid. Having been a record dealer helped!

You know, I’m on shore too. Pretty much a week one equivalent puzzle but fun.

On shore. Been having a rough time with some of these lately. A little nervous about the Week 4.

Isn’t that what Tattoo used to say on Fantasy Island?

On shore ... I think. (At least, I have an answer that I can make a completely coherent and convincing argument for ... 😜.)

And ... I just saw something that puts the icing on the cake ... very clever people, these setters!

I was only seven when Woodstock happened, ...


but it was a blast!

But, seriously, I am ashore with a freshly opened Coppertail Night Swim porter. BTW, that's on my 'Top Three places to visit' list once civilization returns.

Stay safe and healthy out there!
'tis... A lovely day for a Guinness!

Got this one quickly. I will check in with Dom to see if he has had a chance to try to solve it.
