Ashore after a busy couple weekends where I didn't get to it. A nice easy one to get me back up to speed. Cheers!

Late to the party...but onshore!
Thanks to all the muggles in this group. Participating is the highlight of the week!

After two weeks at sea -- glad to be on the beach (even if crowded)!

Must be all the baseball my husband is watching. Solved in record time. Always nice to see Vermeer in a grid.

On the shore if that’s what you say when you get it, less than an hour . I’ve tried before today before registering but never got one , apparently this one was a bloop single compared to normal

late Thursday night, led to a late Friday morning....woke up to the realization that most everyone left....fortunately a quick trip to shore to hang with everyone..... it's a bit cold today, so going with a dram of Laphroig to warm up a bit.

Fun ride to the shore. Was making this a little harder than needed at first. Celebrating with a cold and refreshing margarita.

Made it ashore! Once I realized everyone said it was easy.....it became easy!

Ashore. Natasha beat me to it though I am the baseball nut and she isn't.

Finally on shore. I was beginning to think that I had downloaded the wrong puzzle!
Who knew that I could make up so many variations of what turned out to be the correct mechanism?
I was 58A so many times that I was starting to wonder if I would be able to stand up to a 15A.
Very impressive construction.

Busy time of the semester meant I didn't even get to the grid until right before bed last night. Didn't see it instantly (though in retrospect I was instantly focused on the right general idea). This morning only took a minute or two before it hit me.
Think we need to set up a satellite bar on the beach. One could get thirsty waiting in this line.
ETA: in case cntrl-F for the magic words is part of the tally process: on shore.

No swimming with the sharks this week.
Ashore with a Pina colada topped with a cherry.

Printed it off this AM, quick trip through the grid then the second iteration of the mechanism I suspected was right. So on shore for a change without help. The Pun of a Kind I think I know how to solve but can't, the MOAT I am still struggling with - thankfully the MG did not drop. Still working on some of my own as well...
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.
