On shore. I agree that it's a difficult grid.

I'm curious where the difficulty rating will end up for this one. I saw what was going on early, but maybe I was just lucky. The puzzles I can think of that are most similar have been difficult.

Ashore! And just missed Page 1. Oh well, I'll take a Terrapin Recreation Ale. I think I deserve it after missing the meta 2 straight weeks.

Onshore. After missing 2 (or 3? 4?) weeks in a row, yay!

Well, I found the shore! Pretty involved this week, Mr. Mike! And now, it's almost 'Tini Time! Thank you!

Tackle the meta the
Minute it’s out.

When you see Meg, ask her,
Superseductively,
“Where’s that cabana boy?”

Whoo-hoo! Not only did I solve but thanks to the grid I also came up with a word that's been on the tip of my tongue all day!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Not 19a! (i.e., ashore!)

Loved it!

Another one, I think, to use as a 31a to help explain the meta concept to a noobie.

On Shore. Time for some beer(s) and BLT's with fresh tomatoes from the garden.

On shore! I really liked this one! Get me back into the meta groove for tomorrow's MGWCC and the chance to redeem myself after missing last week's.

On shore.

After last week's debacle, I was glad to grab the RUDder with a steaDY hand and get to shore! Last week was torTURed meandering and this week was (almost) iNSTant recognition of the mechanism. I believe that the drinks are two for ONE at the tiki bar! I'll have a Magners.

Feeling blind. Grid solved without a hitch but am seeing nothing for the meta.

On shore.

Had some trouble with the grid but got the meta pretty quickly, at least for me.

Will wait until dinner before celebrating.

Got it, despite or because of problems with the grid. And I learned a new word though it isn't something I'm likely to use.
