I'm disappointed with the originality of this meta.
on shore and agree with your comment.

Ashore. Hard to think of anything more satisfying in life than an "Aha!" moment!

On shore. Agree it's pretty easy for Matt. I'll take it.

Did I even get on the boat for this one? I got to shore so quickly I didn't even have time to say hola to Isaac! 😁

Can my drink of choice be a piece of my son's leftover chocolate birthday cake instead?

Got a very late start as had stuff to do. Grid was no problem and thought I had the path to the meta but no. Maybe I am the only lonely one with Issac. Will look at it later.

On shore with a glass of wine. Not bad at all.

Poor Isaac! Between last week and this week, he's making nothing on tips.

I poured a drink to settle down and do battle with the meta, but it fell before I took my first sip.

Never before have I reached shore with an untouched drink already in my hand.

Easy swim to the beach. Lotta folks here already, I see, with many probably still to come. The more the merrier, I say. Let’s all virtually snuggle up together in the late autumn sun!

On shore. I didn't find that too easy at all. Just the right amount of challenge for me! I had a nice aha moment.
