On shore! I haven't been doing well at these lately.

I was pretty sure I knew what the mechanism was when I was only halfway through the grid. Then I got confirmation.

I just can't resist saying it yet again--I love Mike Shenk puzzles. Even if it's a meta, a crossword remains a word puzzle. I mean, even a sports ignoramus like me was able solve this...and without googling. Or maybe, it's just because I seem to have an pleasier time with his puzzles. Whatever the reason, I had a pleasant time with this puzzle

I'm on break running errands, and this completely slipped my mind! Not sure if that means I need more coffee or less. Meta in 5:52. Please "reserve" me a spot on the shore!
