Large crew on shore this weekend. New record maybe?

Like many others I learned a new word. Never heard it before.

Ashore on what I suspect will be a crowded beach! Tricky grid in spots, but clever construction. Have a good weekend y'all!

Yikes! I am at sea with a difficult, for me, grid. I'll resume pondering the grid tomorrow with, most likely, anxious Google searches on Saturday.

Then to sympathetic Muggles on Sunday.

I miss my Tito's and a splash of OJ...

Absolutely, definitely ASHORE, mateys! Time for 🍹. I'm so thrilled my first couple weeks trying metas with muggles have been relatively easy. I feel very lucky. From watching the Shenk/Gaffney interview with explanations, I know they will get much harder. But I will allow myself a little party anyway🥳 especially because I completed all by myself - no books, no google, no partners - and in 22min!!! So gratifying. :))) Happy weekend, everyone!!!

I had heard it before but I thought it meant something entirely different.
GUAVA is not an anagram of VAGUE and PEPPER is not a palindrome.
