Ashore! I am (gladly) BLAming my family for my late arrival. I didn't notice puzzle-drop time because I was busy muCKing about in the kitchen making chex mix since the entire CRew (kids and grands) will be in town this weekend. Now to mAKE some cupcakes. And--maybe--finish the grid.

Well that was different! On shore. Really loved the shoutout to 24A.
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.)

On shore. I couldn't make any sense of it at first, but then, while taking a shower (of course!) it hit me. Very ingenious construction!

With Isaac and no clue how to proceed. Nice call out on 24A! :D

Diet coke for now, sake later.

On shore - one of the rare times I guessed what the meta would be half-way through the grid.

Ashore4us! We were trying too hard for hours. Then Cynthia saw it! Smithwick's, please!
Don & Cynthia

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!

Oof! Not one that worked for us - reasons - but got it in the end. Tonight, trying a Bywater cocktail, quite the flavor bomb… cheers, all!
