If you've seen this gimmick before in ealier puzzles, it's a pretty easy dog paddle to the shore. I wonder what those with less familiarity with the tricks of the meta-construction trade will think.

On shore. Bourbon. Don't even care which one.
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.

Ashore quickly this week. Must be the benefit of a nice, long walk in the beautiful weather.

Count me in on the shore party.

On shore after a long dry spell. I am somewhat perplexed by the fact that, as is often the casel, I could not download the puzzle until long after others had successfully solved it. Does anyone have an explanation?
