Nice to have toes in the sand. Just getting to it this morning. Expectations about the large crowd here will be fulfilled, I'm sure. Thanks, Matt, for allowing us a quick preholiday solve!

Done and done
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Ashore after weeks of futility. I'll wait until 17:00 for an appropriate beverage, likely Balvenie 15y. Sláinte!

Ashore after weeks of futility, too. I'm having my appropriate beverage now, a Dr. Pepper.

So... I'm probably ashore. Unless I'm on a sandbar... a sandbar that extends above the sea level and is for miles long and has many terrain features such as vegetation and a creek; but the ocean may be just on the other side of the bluff; hard to tell as there doesn't seem to be any people here. The bar was a crate with a bottle of rum in it and a sign written in pencil saying "help yourself".

So can I ask someone to check my answer and see if we got the same?

HUGE congrats to this solver, who is new to meta puzzles and has been working hard at developing her skills over the past few challenging weeks! Let's show her a warm welcome at the beach party!

On the apparently crowded beach. Fortunately, metaphors do not require social distancing.

Hallelujah. After one false start, the lightbulb came on. So nice to be on shore. I was beginning to doubt I’d ever be able to put my toes in the sand. Good luck, all, and a Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃🍾

Certainly easier for me that the last few weeks.

Probably a glass of red wine for me, little later.
Well done, Richard, and it was so nice to meet you on our Zoom call.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

On shore after being stuck on board for a few weeks. Almost seems to easy?

Our Friday report has a very crowded beach with one muggle keeping Isaac company and 108 on the shore.
