On shore! The last step took me way longer than it should have.

I’m at the cabana bar, to which there seemed to be several references in the grid🍻
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

I got to the puzzle a bit late, and had a few false starts, but now I'm happily on shore.

On Naboo. Landed it ... after being caught in the middle of a mob of storm troopers (aka students with end of semester conferences). :roll

Count me ashore. Found the grid much harder than the meta. Two weeks in a row on a Thursday for me? Feeling like another boot is going to drop very soon. Pass me the pitcher, please!

On shore! I saw the mechanic just as I was finishing the grid, which is a nice difficulty level.

On the beach. Many head slaps grid-wise -- lots of fun though. Love this mechanism.

ASHORE4US. Thought we were stuck in the middle of a rabbit hole for a while but finally got it together and climbed out. Smithwick's Red Ale please.

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!
