Ashore! Thankfully I now have the weekend to enjoy without the meta hanging over my head.

On shore, but as usual went way further than I needed to, right out of the gate. @TMart, hope you left me a drop or two of Guinness!!

The grid is still unfinished (including what I am sure is needed for the meta solution) but I am submitting my answer because it just has to be right.
I really enjoy Mike's metas.

Just dog-paddled ashore. Finished the puzzle with no errors, but it took a bit longer than usual ... and then I went down a few rabbit holes before the lights came on.

On shore 100%! Another clever and fun meta.
Normally I wait for the Friday paper to solve but I know I'll have limited puzzle time this weekend and I wanted to get a head start in case this was a tough one. So Joe Ross' Guide to Solving the WSJ Meta with Excel came to my rescue.
Happily I did not need much time to solve. More time for foo-foo drinks on the beach!

This week, I actually used the meta to finish the grid. Quite a bit I didn’t know and had to get from crosses, so I was pleased with myself that I actually did finish it without google.
Did anyone else try to fit “martini” into 6A?:)
