Not onshore yet - haven't finished the grid yet but have a pretty good idea where this one is going. Will have to pick it back up after a meeting and the gym.

I believe dry ice will help survive the journey to New York... One piece is enough; don't want to be greedy.

On shore. Fun one.

Now back to MMMM, which should be easier than I am making it, based on correct answers so far.

That doesn’t look good to me.
The page with all the links to wsj crosswords opens just fine on my pc, but not on my iPad. A mystery.

On the increasingly crowded shore. Hope y'all are wearing masks. (I don't have nightmares very much, but when I do, they're now all about finding myself in a crowded place where no one has a mask on.)

Ashore! Easy one! (Is there an echo in here? 😜)

Gonna be a crowded beach, I think. Remember to maintain appropriate social distancing!

On shore.
With a long weekend to look forward to, would anyone either on boat or land like to recommend a sub-$20ish bottle of wine they've recently enjoyed?
Stay safe everyone!

Ashore and fun! Looks like a quick meta weekend, which is perfectly fine.

Enjoy the holiday and hopefully some great weather, Muggles!

Nice to have an easy docking on dry land after blanking on all 4 (PGW, MMMM, Will, MMM) from this week in my Alphacross app.... And a week 1 Gaffney tomorrow. Plenty of time for household chores this long weekend I'm guessing.

It's going to be 110 degrees here in SoCal. I'll be huddled in the A/C all weekend.
