You don’t have to have a correct grid to submit, just a full one. All “A” will let you submit.

It's been years since I took a course in English Grammar, but isn't the clue for 20 across grammatically incorrect? Since a quadrant, by definition, is 4 pieces, the word "four " isn't necessary. Correct?
BTW - puzzle finished!

Redundancy isn't a grammatical issue, just a waste of breath.

I wonder if total newcomers will find this one so easy. It uses a gimmick that more experienced solvers will quickly look for but that might not occur to someone who has never done one of these. (IIRC, the same mechanism was employed a while back in a puzzle that had the fewest or second-fewest shorebirds.)
Also, I don't get 24A.

I’m joining the crowded shore party.
Now back to Al’s MMM. Using the first hint posted, I’m about 2/3 of the way to something. Either not yet enough to backsolve or there’s another step after.

My gosh - already ashore ahead of the thunder storm headed our way. I hope there's some good shelter on the beach.....
Also, time to lock the baseball negotiators in the Sistine Chapel until they send out a puff of smoke to announce the baseball season.

I'm safely on shore.
It appears I forgot to post last week, but I solved and submitted on time then too...

Done. I bet this one was harder to write than to solve. What a tricky creation! Loved it.
