Now that page 1 is done ... Filled in the grid handily, but still looking. I see quite a few interesting things but haven't put them together yet.
More importantly, where's Al?

I'm right with you. I know when somebody says "easy one" on the first page, I'm doomed to be spending the weekend staring at it

On the beach! That was a nice one! Honestly, how do you guys get it so fast? The cabana boy will be back shortly. He had to run out and get more sunscreen. Nice tan on that guy!

`Ashore. II think I found it easy because I've seen similar mechanisms in previous Mike/Marie puzzles and knew where to look.

Ashore.
I see the mechanism and the answer but I don't fully understand it.
I'll sleep on it and look again in the morning.

On shore. It's way too early here in Australia for anything other than a coffee, but a G & T awaits later today!
