I left a nice tip to (3D) next to my empty (64A) and got to shore. Jack Daniels & Vernor's please!
Another great Gaffney novel puzzle.

Quickly ashore during lunch break. Cute and classic.

Ashore with y'all, trying to find a spot of beach amongst all the towels.
And I know it's his job and all, but how Matt comes up with this stuff and then weaves it into a puzzle really blows my mind.
A safe weekend to all.

Ashore! Always nice to have a quick solve that can be done by scanning the grid.
Always happy to provide a nudge if I’m ashore.

Ashore. Completed the puzzle in the physical newspaper for the first time in years. It worked!
Regards to all.

Got to the grid late yesterday afternoon, but then work got in the way from taking a look at the big picture. Sat down this morning and it jumped right out at me. So I'm safely ashore! Hopefully there's some room to find here on the beach. I could use some beach time, up early after the inch and half of snow that was forecasted for Broomfield wound up at about 7 and necessitated a snowblower session. I'd love a pint of the black stuff to help warm my blood.
If you see me on the beach, feel free to pm for a nudge. After all the help I’ve got, I am happy to send it forward when I can!

We finally arrived on the big stage. I'll have an espresso martini please.

On shore for a change. Filled the grid last night but didn't see anything and looked again this morning and had a quick swim to shore.

Late start this week but a quick swim to shore once I tackled the grid! I feel like I'm getting better at these!

Feet firmly planted in the frigid, snowy beach after a pretty quick trek. I'll have a Diet Coke for now, but enjoy some adult libations later this weekend. 
Cheers, folks - warmer temperatures are nigh!

Ashore! As I was typing my status a bluebird landed on the ledge outside our breakfast nook window. Perhaps he was a harbinger of good luck coming my way. Sure would be nice to win the mug! (Actually, he was just hanging out, waiting for a spot to open up on the mealworm feeder - one of several feeders that are being cleaned out quickly by our feathered friends.)

Ashore on what I am certain will be crowded real estate. My first guess, like that of many others, was dead on. I did some running around trying to make everything fit of course but, as might be imagined, it all did.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

Quick glide into the shore for this one -- very fun construction to follow along to the finish. Work in San Fran means a Cable Car Cocktail to celebrate.

On the beach with one quibble. Dunkin' Cold Brew Porter from Harpoon Brewery for me today.
I spent too much effort overthinking one word and the result was nonsensical. A simpler view directed me to the answer but my quibble is still in place.
Puzzle Buddy Jane is having printer issues so this was a solo solve. That may have been my biggest obstacle!
A big shout out to @ship4u for pointing out my avatar in the weekend WSJ. See the Review Section page C3, "No, Pop Rocks Did Not Kill Mikey From The Life Cereal Ad."

I prefer my kale with a silent K.
