Ashore. Thanks to @Bob cruise director, who saw I was floundering in the surf and threw me a lifeline.

Woke up at 2:25 am with an idea how to solve this meta. Turned on the light to check it out and 23A, I was right! Finally, I’m ashore! Glad to be here with the crowd.

Made it to the beach this morning. (Golf on Friday and Saturday took precedence.)

Found my way to the beach yesterday and enjoyed a “Party Beer” at the LAFC - Portland Timbers match.

Good Sunday morning muggles

If you want to get either a laugh or an eyeroll from a nonmeta spouse of friend check out the posting from @Mirage

Progress to shore has slowed down significantly. We have 4 on the ship and 204 on the shore.

New to the shore are

And thanks to @MaineMarge for the postings of her peonies coming up. If you want to make it rain, wait until the peonies are in bloom. They are a delicate beautiful flower which is destroyed by rain.

And don't forget the 8 pm ET zoom call today

Nervous that what I thought was step one is step zero. Oh well at least the view is nice from the ship.

Count me ashore! Enjoyed it. Although I didn’t start until today, I celebrated yesterday! So water sounds mighty enjoyable.

On shore.

After being out of the country for 23 days, we just had a chance to look at it and it was a quick swim.

Algeria and Tunisia are very interesting places to visit, especially during Ramadan.
