Someone please tell me how to post a photo

[CPJohnson]

I'm ashore, thanks to dk letter's persistence and patience. (sigh) I should have seen the first step a lot sooner.

A late arrival at the beach party is fashionable, or so I am told. Happy to be here.

Gammodog? Oh, wait. jpg sez Grand Lagoon. Google now sez Panama City beach. Have found some trouble in that vicinity - more than once.

Christmas lights delay.
Then, ninety minutes for grid,
Ashore in twenty.

[debbierudy]

It's good to be on shore after a month of tough puzzles! the grid this week took awhile - way longer than the meta.

[JaneGummy]

Still on the boat despite a friendly nudge. Sigh, apparently not my brain's type of meta.

[mindle]

On the shore. The grid was a little difficult for me, but the meta came pretty quickly. Cheers!

Am "ashore" *only* because someone took pity on my pitiful heiny and spoon-fed me the answer. Then, saw this as an opportunity toy with the wifey - I mean, test to see what another reasonable human being could do with my gradually-doled-out-newfound knowledge. To date, am gratified to see her getting *nowhere*. That so many Muggles have found this to be "straightforward" boggles my mind. (Am used to the different-species 15 minute solvers). May be that we "normals" (whoa, used to using that term for others) have no bidness trying to rub elbows with you guys. . .

Late start, toes in sand!

Still on the ship. Haven't had much time to devote to this one. But it sure is bugging me because I'm pretty sure I have part of the mechanism, just can't figure out what to do next.

[Ckell313]

Been trying all weekend, but still on the ship. Would appreciate a nudge in these final few hours.

[Joey Avocado]

Finally the a-ha

Any weekend left?

On shore, hot cocoa w Baileys for 2 please

[Ckell313]

Ok, I’m ashore thanks to a helpful nudge!

[KWStein]

On land!

[MamaE]

Finally had time to sit down and work on this. Happy to say I am ashore!

[haydendog]

Reaching out for some help! I’m not even sure I have the first step correct.
A nudge would be greatly appreciated!

[pilsbandy]

Maybe I'm just on a rough streak, but this one is stumping me. I'm not even picking up on ANYTHING. No rabbit holes or anything. Could somebody offer a nudge?

EDIT: Nudge received and appreciated. Back to the grind...

EDIT #2: And now I am ashore!! I need to learn to stop overthinking these things. This was such a fun one!!

[Richard]
