Now that page one is filled, I would like to clarify that I do not at all "like" the fact that you have a fractured shoulder - I was just admiring your dedication and solving skills. I hope you recover quickly!

On the beach.

After having trouble the past 2 weeks, it's nice to have a less difficult one.
It's probably easy enough that the mods will let an unintentional spoiler slide.

Ashore, I think … but I’m gonna wait a bit before submitting my answer … 🤨.

Submitted after a short review. I find it interesting that several other posters mention having had some difficulties with the metas for the last two weeks. And here I thought it was just me being dumb and/or distracted by other activities … 😳.

I say the Forum should establish some sort of Purple Heart award for Muggles injured in the line of puzzling.

Count me in for Happy Hour, thanks. It's been a few weeks, and I'm glad to be back among y'all in Adult Beverage Land.

Late start this week, but I THINK I'm on shore? I'll let it percolate a bit before submitting.

Pretty sure I'm on shore. Found it quick, just not totally sure it exactly fits the clue.

I would have been here sooner, but in Fleeting Image, I kept clicking on Oct.15 and getting Not Found. Oh well, maybe next week.
