Ashore. But I feel really dense for not seeing it sooner. I found a very deep rabbit hole. Absolut and tonic please

Woop woop! Ashore!!

I’ll take a hot-toddie on this cold winter’s night. A little out of place for the tiki bar, but it’s cold where I am!!

Happy weekend everyone!

One question: what is the general opinion on submitting the puzzle if I relied heavily on Google to fill in the crossword? I rarely finish it without at least bit of help 😅
