Well, page three is better than page four (our previous best), but was really hoping to hit a page one! Maybe in another 10 years practice!

In any event, on the shore!

edit: RATS! first of page four!

On shore. There is something else there that confirmed it for me. Well, I took it as confirmation, lol.

That was quick. I seem to remember a puzzle from last year with a very similar mechanism.

Add one to Team "submitted what has to be the answer but doesn't really see how it works exactly". Anyway, counting myself on shore.

I am very clearly on shore. A little fuzzy on how I got here, though.

Edit: Having gone back and read the comments, I see my experience was not unique.

Ashore.

I was pretty sure I knew the answer early, but it took a while to find a mechanism that plausibly led to it.

Still, a tinge of doubt has me wondering if I spread out my beach blanket below the mean high water line.

A bit of Laphroaig should chase that doubt away.

Done, yes I can't be completely sure, but it does work - well.

Edit: Now I see the step that makes it 100%.

On a beach. Maybe it isn't as elegant as I expected, but it looks correct.

Another one here on shore with a fairly quick swim, but limping around thinking "I think this is the right shore...." Fun puzzle.

Wow, Wendy! That's either a huge plate or you are exceptionally petite! I want to know the restaurant so I can frequent if ever in the area (and location!).
