NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

On shore! Thanks Wendy for filling in!
Bad planning on my end. You will have a great time at Lollapuzzoola. I'm bummed to be missing that one. Lots of friendly people. That has actually been my experience at every crossword tournament I've gone to. I am not anywhere near being competitive at these things, but it's always fun to meet and solve with a room full of very smart and nice people.
My wife is actually pretty good about it as well, especially seeing that I go to 4 tournaments a year (maybe 5 now that I know about Boswords!) and one of them (ACPT) is an all-weekend event. Unfortunately, I just found out I can't make it to either Lollapuzzoola or Boswrds this year.docison wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 7:51 pmI am, but it's only a 15 minute drive for me. I've convinced my wife that, out of all the vices a husband could have, crosswords aren't so bad! Boswords is great fun for anyone in the area. I plan on going to Lolla next month also (never been to that one).

We were a Funk & Wagnalls house. Please no limericks about that! Although HS was heavy on English, in-class recitations (and Latin), my college didn't even have an English department! So, the poetry knowledge was limited, at best. Thanks, again, Mr G.
'tis... A lovely day for a Guinness!

Approaching shore but the final step towards the sand is eluding me. Like others, i want it to be the obvious choice, but the letters are just off. Will continue wading among the sand crabs until i see the right corner.

I join the legions on shore and like many, I needed Mr. G. and am very impressed with the construction of the puzzle.

Count me on shore. I saw nothing last night but found a path this morning. Not crazy about the word I came up with so will think about it some more before submitting, but pretty sure I'm right.

Post enlightenment... Just came up with the better word. Glad I hesitated.

On shore ... after a stop-over for some "hair of the doggerel that bit me" with Isaac. Have a great weekend, all.

With half of my ancestors coming from the Northern England and the others from near Vilnius Lithuania, I thought I was English Lit! Alas, I opted out of OCS so never made Major. Still, this must be why I like poetry?

Ashore, I do believe! Had a tough time with the fill, but the meta fell into place without too much trouble.

On shore! I think this is now 4 in a row, after being unable to figure out the first two or three I tried. I think I might be getting the hang of this.
Nice one.
Nice one.

Solved, after a little studying. The method and answer did not jump out at me immediately.

Tough grid for me. Got lucky and found the answer. Very nice construction! On shore!

ashore! Needed some Mr. G help to see who wrote what... then it was done and dusted. I imagine that there are a fair number of muggles ashore for a week 4, no?
