Ashore, with help from @Meg in the discord. First time here on page 1 and, with this puzzle, I'm a little mad about it. I will take a Guinness regardless!

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!

Ashore.

With help from a skim of the Discord confab. (I won’t submit for the mug.)

Yeah, I’m with Jay and others. Meh. At best.

Shoved ashore and not submitting. But I will take a drink after that brain beating. 🤪. Count me among the non-fans of this one. (Kudos to @Joe Ross for solving and throwing me a line!
