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!
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!

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.
