On shore

[escapeartist]

Lost at sea and hanging out with Isaac for another weekend - keep the drinks coming, my friend!

[Olof]

Solved. Barely even got wet swimming to shore!

[vandono]

Ashore!
A rare "solved before completing the grid" moment for me (after 44 hours of no Internet at home, which was basically like living in the 1800s). I'll take a Shannon Chocolate Stout, because I was already drinking it anyway.

Alas, have to report in as on the ship with Isaac. In one hotel chain, here in Lisbon, Portugal. Moving to another one today.
….
We fly home tomorrow. So I’ll have time to work on the puzzle then…

Corrections:
1. Now on shore
2. Didn’t really need the flight time to work on the puzzle. It appeared instantly.
3. Not flying home today (yesterday’s “tomorrow”) as our second flight was cancelled and there was no alternative. Unfortunately, not stuck in Lisbon, but rather in Frankfurt.
4. Just checked in to third hotel chain for our involuntary “bonus” night of vacation.

Joel Rosario's efforts, today (watch his mounts for each entire race):

Impressive. One was a 3-5 favorite, but the 2-1 second favorite came from a mile back. And in all cases, in that last half-furlong they were going so much faster than the other horses it looked like they were in a different race.

On the beach. Enjoyed this one.

[PapZ]

It took me awhile... but I'm ashore! Lone Star Beer, please.

[SusieG]

Hi friends,
Ashore quickly this week. I solved before finishing and forgot to post! Good luck all. I’m sure it’s a thick crowd this week.

[Dennis]

Ashore. Should be a crowd there. What is the numerical record for those ashore in one cycle?

[Bob cruise director]

Good Sunday morning muggles

The progression to the shore has slowed up quite a bit as we have 1 on the ship with Isaac and 227 on the shore.

And getting to the shore since yesterday are (some with headslaps, some with family members looking over their shoulder)

Ashore! Now time for a quick run.

[sphorning]

I'm on shore. Just got back from a trip to Nashville. Didn't stay here, though. Darn it!

[Franklin.Bluth]

Ashore. Found the mechanism right away, but I don't know enough hotel names readily to solve it alone. Quick Google search turned up the answer.

[auee89]

Ashore. Just finished the grid after being away all weekend. Have a great week!

[ReB]

On shore. Away since Thursday, just started this afternoon but fortunately found a strong current to shore.

[Berto]

Finally had a chance to look at this after a hectic week back in the UK. Have printed out MGWCC for the flight home tomorrow- just got this submitted before last night of sleep.

Ashore — and hopefully soon asleep…

[debbierudy]

Ashore! It's been a busy few days (settling a swarm of bees into their new hive, trying to get grass to grow, and other such springtime activities), so just now getting to it. Fun one!

[Bob cruise director]

Good evening
Our final count is 234 on the shore and one keeping Isaac company for the week.

Ashore!
