OK! I'm on shore - first time in several weeks! A Guinness, please, sir.

The beach is already getting crowded - maybe the extra time from a day or two off from work made a difference. Cheers, and Happy (belated) Thanksgiving.

Probably have the wrong answer for 37D
YOU'RE RIGHT!! - What a difference 1 letter makes! Thankfully it didn't affect my solution :D

Toes in the sand again. First solve since early August. No alcohol for me. Hot tea will do just fine.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

On shore! And my first time posting one of these statuses, as I too frequently do the grid and forget to go back to the meta until shortly after midnight on Sunday.

Ashore! Had a seemingly obvious portion of the meta and struggled for a few hours until I realized I only had half of it.
Always happy to provide a nudge if I’m ashore.

Going to be a cruising week for me as there are no landmarks that I can see.

Perfect amount of paddling before I saw the coastline. Very satisfying!

Got to the grid yesterday afternoon, but didn't have time to delve until this morning. Quick jaunt to shore from there. Hope everyone had as enjoyable a Thanksgiving celebration as I did!
