Ashore! Not sure whether it will be a crowded beach or not, so I'll take two cold ones, Mr. Cabana Boy, just in case the line gets long.

Got it!
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
