Isaac, ahoy!

That the moderators have redacted part of my first post suggests that I was on to something despite seeing nothing, having no clue as to the metanism, and merely commenting on what I assumed was fruitless flailing. I should go back and look closer at what I was doing, but it's been redacted, and I can't remember what it was.

Isaac!
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

Hey if Someone wants to pm me I’ll let you know what I have and you can nudge me. Cant do zoom call. Apparently my husband wants me to get better at golf. Rather drink with Isaac 😂. At least I can hit straight shots at the bar 🥳

Ashore. Stress-free [virtual] beach time coming up. Forget hydration this week; I'm opening a bottle of red for dinner. Maybe even eat something with it.

On shore. Fun one. Had a great feeling what the meta would be, and my suspicion was right. Took me a little bit to figure it out once I found all the relevant information, but it was a nice swim in to shore.

On the beach.

Not usually a rum guy, but this Trader Joe's pineapple sparkling water has me thinking the two might go well together.
Seems like it might be fun with this warm mid-spring weather.

I needed a Zoom nudge, but enjoyed a thoroughly satisfying "aha" to get me on the beach this week. Perhaps I'll be able to partake in a drink out of my dad's shiny new mug from his win last week. :)

Have a great weekend, crossword friends!

On shore after I figured out I was barking up the wrong tree with a couple of the themers. :?

I'll take a West Coast IPA today please!
If you see me on the beach, feel free to pm for a nudge. After all the help I’ve got, I am happy to send it forward when I can!

I really don't like doing these without pen and paper, but island necessities forced doing it on the phone. Found some time between playing with grandchildren to knock this one out. On the beach both literally and figuratively!!
