I think I'm on shore... unless it's a mirage? Maybe I'll float on a little longer.

I guess I’m ashore. I mean it must be right. Saw the path while driving in my car. Cabana boy is shrugging.

Haha! I'm onshore and ready for supper! BTW, I highly recommend this week's MEOW puzzle by Josh -- very funny and there is a great "click."
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Ashore! As a restaurateur I was excited for the meta prompt. Glad I was able to solve it!
I can be found in Sheridan, NY, veejaying. (8)

On shore! Yes! That one satisfyingly challenged me! And taught me a bit of geography.

On shore, but lordy which one am I on?? (At least I believe I am... one little word troubles me, but what else could this be?)

When I did what was called for, I muttered “no...way!!” So talented, that Gaffney feller.

Something with an umbrella in it is obviously called for today, and not just because we are currently receiving a lovely warm spring rain!

On shore. I'll have a water, please! Not terribly difficult, but very ingenious construction.

Check out the first post on the WSJ puzzle site -- advocating for three mugs a week.

I treat it the same as a powerball ticket. I feel my odds are the same as tunneling (in the quantum mechanics sense) through the concrete wall in my apartment. But still a fun way to not win.

I know the answer and will have the grid finished & the meta 100% verified by the time we reach the beach.


4:32 EDIT: 100% verified! Feet are sandy & taking me to find a Guinness, or some.

I am ready to go ASHORE if Joe would come back with the tender instead of tooling around the harbor.

Ashore. I had an idea what the answer would be as I went through the grid, but the mechanism escaped me for a while. Like others, I was amazed at the execution when I finally saw it. Time for a nice, frosty IPA. Monday Night Slap Fight, I think. Anyone seen the cabana boy?

Ashore. I can't believe what it took to construct this beauty. Matt is a genius.
