We're in the busy season for the diving business, so I've barely had time for the grids the past couple months and have barely looked at the metas.

But today was an off day, and I'm ashore for the first time in a long time.

Good to be back.

Ashore - I think. The answer isn't familiar to me but it feels like the mechanism is right.

2(ish) more words: "Well-known"??? :roll:
It is if you read sci-fi. Like me. :)
This is the correct analysis: Certainly well-known in that field. :ugeek:

And successfully on shore. Had the Gaffney Gulps for a few minutes and then saw the path to follow. Lots of tasty Destihl beverages in the near future.

On shore. Who? I don't know much about science fiction, but I'll take a cold one. And wouldn’t you know. Meg’s cabana boy saw my Yankee cap and charged me for the beer!

On shore with many of the same comments as have already been made

Now waiting for Week 5 with fear and trepidation.

Ruh roh. I think I've been PAGEANTed!

I came up with a justifiable answer by one method, but a fellow Muggle pointed out another method, which yielded a different answer, which seems MORE justifiable, now that I scrutinize things.

Anyone else think they may be in this same, ahem, boat?

Not a no-doubter, but a pretty-surer? Counting myself on the beach.
