The crops are withered.

The sun-baked land is cracked.

The throat is parched.

But now ... the meta monsoon has at LONG last arrived.

I am on shore.

Ashore! You guys are quick and 3 down just pour you a tall one!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

Ashore! Got the mechanism so quickly that I thought I might have my third P1 in a row. Not meant to be. I'll always take being ashore!

On shore. I didn't even spend time with 3D, but I guess I was a bit slow in filling the grid.

Wow, 2 pages filled in 30 minutes! I suppose all the regulars have seen ones like this before.

Ashore and looks like there's already a line at the cabana. Good company, though.

Ashore! Grid was tougher than usual for us. Still not sure about some of the answers, but they didn't affect the meta.

Feeling kind of sad to leave Isaac so early, but things fell into place nicely. Solved.
