I am on the shore
I've never seen the movie
But I'm pretty sure.

I imagine that there is further confirmation within the grid than what I recognized.

On shore, but still keeping an eye on that ripe coconut over my head.

My usual margarita, please.

On shore. Found a possible "spark" but not sure if it's the correct one. Ha ha...have a good weekend everyone!

On shore, joining the already-teeming Thursday shindig. Putting down my Pennsylvania snow shovel and reaching for something more deliciously frosty.

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon -- OK, a very short marathon -- like a rom-com relationship.

Ok, am I the only one who had to look up the definition of rom com?

Onshore. I'm not much of a fan of the genre, and I don't think I've ever seen this particular one, but I was still able to solve it without resorting to Mr. G.

I went down some strange rabbit holes before making it to shore.

Second week in a row that the meta solve came before the puzzle was finished. So for the extra challenge needed I solved on a printed copy that came from a printer with no ink!
