Our Sunday report is a bit early as the traffic to the beach has come to a complete standstill

First we welcome our two newest muggles - MamaE and Mulligan always great to have more muggles.

We have 204 on the shore and 4 keeping Isaac company on the ship - and an apology to the three muggles who were on the shore yesterday but I missed their postings - CP Johnson, BarbaraK and Heidi

Getting to the shore since yesterday (including my misses) are:

Barbara K
Heidi
Jean
ReB
JRS51
CPJohnson
cinemagical
HunterX
eagle1279
Annabelle
Limerick
diplomatt
khanthedane
maprasad
flamingbear
Colin
sphorning

TomandDenise
Ergcat
wb93
MamaE
TeaJenny
Deb
Michelle B
Mulligan
zacmoretz

Good luck to all winning the mug. Maybe we can start a streak

Finally ashore thanks to a nudge from Boharr. Learned a valuable lesson this week...

On shore, after what I thought was a very tough grid. For the longest time, I had wrong (but decent) answers for 8A and 70A.

You don't have to streak - Meg's cabana boy can lend you a speedo

Late to start but quick (for me at least!) to finish. Onshore and keeping the 2021 streak alive!

Nice puzzle, Joanne...or Miss Joanne as I've been told that's more polite.
Solved.

Well, I have an answer. It makes sense with the title but the "middle" of it just doesn't feel right to me - like it's really a stretch or something. Guess I'll know later today if I made it shore or floated to a different island all together.

Ashore at last. I made the same mistake I have made so often and needed a gentle nudge.

Eleventh hour solve for me, but ashore. Can't help but ask "Is that it?" Feels like there should be more but the answer I got makes sense with the title and the other comments here. Is it too late to have a beer?

Never too late for a beer. Cheers.

First time I've been able to look at the puzzle all weekend. On shore.
