After two weeks of rough oceans, I'm safely on shore before 5pm on Thursday. If I made there so quickly that means the shore will be very crowded by Sunday evening.

Happily on shore, nice to struggle less (but still some) than the last two weeks.

Woohoo! I am not tormented by this one, I had a great time with it. Ashore, perhaps eating a food often painted by artists. Perhaps not.

On shore! It didn't go quite the way I expected, but turned out to be even better.

Fun while it lasted. This was one where it was very helpful to have the .puz version copied into Paint.
Amazing that Matt could find these, and I love the theme-word clues.

Ashore! Not a gimme, but definitely a step down in difficulty from the last couple puzzles.

On shore! Took me a little longer because my brain is a little foggy after being jolted awake by an earthquake at 4:30 this morning. Had to console the dog, poor thing!

I certainly made that one more complicated than it was! On shore and hungry!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
