On shore.

I was hoping that the beach would be loNELier than this. I was SO close to page one! If only I had come up with the aNSwer a minute sooner. If only that SPARk of an idea had come just a bit quicker. I beat some of the cROWd (but not enough). I’m sure that we will be welcoming plenty ashore again this week. It is still cold here—I’ll have a hot toddy.

I knew the answer before I knew exactly why. Now I see it all.

I’m leaving the ship. Bye ... oops, that would be a spoiler:)

So we have our Beths coming in at post 11 and 14 at 4;22 and 4:24 - are we sure they are not alter egos?

Spark found and quickly extinguished! Setting my blanket out on the beach at a 6-foot spacing.

I keep thinking that it can't be as obvious as it seems. Right? I thought the same thing last week. But I think I'm ashore as well. Would do anything to be on an actual beach...

Ashore. Another fairly easy swim. I'll have a gin and tonic, thanks.
