At that size, your island looked like a couch on the beach.

On the beach, with less than the usual amount of staring stupidly.

On shore! That was fun. I've never had 36D - maybe I'll try it one day. But today I think I'll have [INSERT META ANSWER HERE]

Wow, super-tough grid! But any hard feelings quickly evaporated when I figured out the gorgeous meta.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Onshore and thirsty (and starting a new streak!), but it's a little early for cocktails here on the West Coast.

Done. i am from 13D (both clue and answer), so i'd better win the mug this week! It will make up for foreigners having zero percent chance of getting last week's answer right (i know, i should just "move beyond it" and not be bitter).

I can't finish this grid because 36D is a nonsensical clue.
Actually, it makes perfect sense. Spell check it.

Dom checks in to say he's on shore. I have done the grid but would like to finish up at work before taking a real crack at the meta.
