Toughest grid in a long while. Initial glance for the meta yielded nothing; I may need Joe Ross's spreadsheet for this one. But until that's posted: Isaac! Laphroaig neat please!
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

On the 🏖
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Ashore! Good one!

Oh right, the celebratory drink! It's raining in Boston, so let's make it a Dark & Stormy.

Why is it that telling a friend I see nothing results in the curtains falling from my eyes? I am on the beach. The cabana boy is watching baseball (The Rays of course), so drink orders may be a bit slow.

On the beach! I thought I would be grinding on this all weekend, but then had the Aha experience. Time to open up a bottle of Merlot.

On shore. But if I went with my gut feeling and submitted what I thought would be the answer as a guess before solving, I would have been wrong.
