Ashore and ready for a beach sunset! (not a drink as far as I know, I mean the literal thing)

I'm ashore, which is a little unusual lately.

Ashore. Another really clever puzzle. How do these guys keep thinking of new ways to create these? Really amazing.

Wow - wait a few hours before starting and it’s Page 7 already! How ‘bout an Aperol spritz, cabana boy!

Got the grands here for the week so Nana didn’t get to this until late! What a treat to get a puzzle right up my alley and no googling needed. Nana could use a strong cocktail, but we’ll wait til the kiddos are sleeping!

Cast off the Liberty Boat. This one was almost a gimme. Seemed really 'Ouisey considering the last several puzzles. Expecting a crowd at the New
China Fleet landing. Heading into Wan Chai for a cold one. A beer that is.

Ashore!
And like @HeadinHome , no Googling required 🤗
Plus I got to shore under my own steam- the last few weeks I’ve had to use my season’s pass on @Bob cruise director ’s shuttle.
Lovely view off the beach tonight

Not PAGE one but dammit DAY one should count for something!

RIP Bob Newhart! That Kilchoman isn't going to drink itself so just helped myself to a generous pour and cued up the Button-Down Mind. Maybe if I have a second glass, I'll get some Moo Goo Gai Pan for dinner. If you know, you know.....
Definitely remember that Moo Goo Gai Pan line from a classic BNS, circa… 1973? 4? On about the same time as the old Love Boats were running!

All good things must eventually end, and so it is with me. A three week cruise, week after week on the boat, is over because the boat ran straight and true into the sands of: the shore. So I stepped off, and here I am. Ashore! At last.

Smooth ride to shore this week. No rip tides to push me off course, like last week.

Got lucky this week as the idea I had from the title turned to be right, though it was more elegantly executed than I’d imagined. Quick trip to shore. 🥂
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.)
