A bit of a late start as I was busy planting pawpaws. In the last few weeks I have had my first tastes of wild persimmons from trees in my woods, and pawpaws. Both surprisingly delicious. Now I need to figure out how to make them into some sort of concoction to celebrate my quick trip to shore.

On the beach! G & T, please (later tonight, Australian time!)
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Ashore! Struggled with (arguably) the most important part of the grid, but smooth sailing after that. Best of luck to all!

On shore after making it way harder than I had to. Off to start my colonoscopy prep now. Hope everyone's evening is more fun than mine promises to be!

Popping out of lurkdom to say that this is probably the first meta that my dad, age 87, has solved on his own! I introduced him to metas a couple of years ago, and now he does the grids most Thursdays but has little luck (or patience) with the metas. He tries for about a minute and then quits, and when I try to explain them he generally says "No way; glad I didn't waste my time on it." On a few easier ones, I've managed to nudge him a little to the solution. But today he solved before I did! He is submitting the answer as I type, and said he may frame the puzzle

Stay well all

ASHORE
So is the WSJ on to me? When I first checked the site for the puzzle, it wasn't there -- only a button to click to subscribe.
Well, they picked the wrong critter to dangle a carrot in front of --
(Puzzle showed up after about 30 minutes of hitting refresh, so obviously not the reason I'm on page whatever. )

I think I am ashore but I may have a problem with it. I guess I’ll find out on Sunday night.

Count me on the shore. I had to sit on it and come back. When I did, the answer was very apparent. I'll take a tall glass of Nice Quiet Weekend.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
