Not a fan of this grid. Way too many forced entries. But I have the Meta and am safely ashore, looking for someone to complain to. I definitely need a beer or three.

Caught in the undertow for quite awhile looking for that last push ashore. Finally got it, and can relax on the beach again this weekend.

Stay well!

On the beach (coincidentally one of my favorite Neil Young albums)

On shore. I like the mechanism.

I know the creators say they don't add red herrings on purpose, but man, I was sure I had the right idea until I couldn't complete it and searched for something else.

I’m with the shore crowd. Is that like being “in with the in crowd”?

I’ll have a drink with lots of fruity garnish, please Bob.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Oh, there you are! On the beach, which will likely be crowded.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Toes in sand. Thought we might be pursuing a red herring, because we had a workable answer without having done all the work. Took awhile to convince ourselves...
