[Flamel616]

Ashore

[Deb F]

Onshore. Late to the party but happy to be here after a couple of tough weeks.

Have a great weekend, Muggles.

[Janet]

I have landed ashore!

[Tom Shea]

Like many others, back on shore after weeks adrift.

[Kris Zacharias]

On shore after several weeks of cross puzzlement.

[debbierudy]

Ashore!

[Twilly57]

Only the second time I’ve made it ashore. I had given up on solving this one, I had figured out the meta clue, but the answer eluded me (much like life in general). This morning, after a 3rd cup of coffee, it clicked.
I credit this forum in giving me the confidence to persevere

[Dennis]

Ashore. Like others I was trying to make it more complicated than it was.

[Bob cruise director]

Good Saturday morning muggles. An interesting challenge by Mr. Gaffney but muggles are up to it with 191 on the shore and an empty bar. Isaac is using the time to fill Christmas ornament orders. You can get yours on ebay

[Lyman]

Ashore, but it took three dope-slaps to reach the beach.

[Jarrod]

Ashore! After a few weeks of no submittals, time to get in the holiday spirit! Trying some egg nog this weekend.

[Ben B]

On shore. Nice to see everyone!

[cheekumbaldy]

On shore!

[femullen]

Finished grid. Staring.

8^(

[shays]

I’m submitting an answer and I’m happy with it.
I’m also a little confused but it’s such a clean solve….

[Kas]

And me! Me! I'm ashore, too! I just delayed posting on purpose [totally false], or I'm sure I would have been on Page One [laughably incorrect], probably even the first solver [utter poppycock], but I graciously opted to cede the honor to others [wow], so I should be granted the Mug this week for my extraordinary magnanimity [Res Ipsa Loquitur].

[Olof]

Good to be back on shore after a few weeks of getting to know Isaac too well.

[CopperRiver]

On shore. Seems like I’m missing a step though. We shall see if I’m right.

[BreeZynCO]

On shore

[Gman]

On shore. I was definitely overthinking this one.
