Marion and I are there with the group..........worked independently and landed on the same shore. Might be a big crowd? Luck to all.......

Quick trip to shore. I'll take a light beer - the Guinness is starting to show.
A 330ml serving of Guinness Draught has only 125 calories, certainly not enough to steer anyone toward those dreadful light beers on the market.

Grid completed, but looks like I'm the only one keeping Isaac company. For now at least. Hoping for inspiration in a Laphroaig neat.

Did the 'blind squirrel' impersonation for a bit then tracked down the rascal rabbit. Definitely made it harder than it needed to be. Great weekend to all!

After struggling with the grid, I'm on my way to join you in the bar. The whole weekend is in front of us for chasing rabbits.

Ashore - agree with those predicting lots of shore birds.
P.S. Today’s NYT crossword was a honey, for those who haven’t tried it yet. Very nice “AHA!”

On the beach! 🏖
A little over-excited to see math involved!

Dang, I had been doing so well this week, cranking on PGWCC, the Fireball meta, Patrick Berry’s Sweet 16, and others ... then I breezed through this PGWCC grid, and ... now I’m just staring and staring and not seeing anything. Grrr!! I’ve asked a friend for a nudge, so when I get the solution, I won’t submit. Not deserving of the chance for a mug!

Hold everything! I thought I’d need a nudge, but the friend didn’t have it yet, and then ... the aha moment hit!
Very satisfyingly on shore!
I will submit after all!

Ashore quickly this time. Loving the math theme!

Got it quickly.
A bit disappointed though, as I was hoping that 29-D and Gyeonbokgung would be involved.

I was stuck far too long on an idea I just couldn't abandon but couldn't make work either. And then a hint that my idea was wrong...led to an obvious answer. So happy to have this done, and bracing for a challenging MGWCC tomorrow.

Ashore after a few little rabbit holes; knew there had to be some pieces that would come together. Glad to see my long lost cousin get a clue reference in 57D. Off to Vegas and didn’t want this meta lingering over my head.

Didn't even chase any rabbits. Swam straight to shore. Count me with the landing party, Cap'n.
