Smooth sailing… Thursday. On shore.
If you like Rows Gardens check out my mini ones here: viewforum.php?f=41. Nudges are free on the off chance I’ve solved the meta.

Ashore - mainly thanks to my wife. Really enjoyed that, though!

On shore. Forget getting a chair. I’ll just lay a towel out under a palm tree, take a snooze and then build me a castle!

I’m on the shore. Seems pretty crowded here. I’ll just have a glass of wine with dinner.

Ashore!

Not PAGE one but dammit DAY one should count for something!

RIP Bob Newhart! That Kilchoman isn't going to drink itself so just helped myself to a generous pour and cued up the Button-Down Mind. Maybe if I have a second glass, I'll get some Moo Goo Gai Pan for dinner. If you know, you know.....

Finally made it. On the beach, toes in the sand, old fashioned in the hand!

On shore! I really like this one from a (former) professional standpoint. More on Monday if I remember.

Ashore with barely room to put my towel down on the sand. Apparently, there has a been a massive closing of rabbit holes.

Boom, ashore! Not enough superlatives to describe the genius of this one. Thanks for giving me a weekend back to do chores, Mike. For now, I'll have a hefeweizen in a frosted mug.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Late start- quick solve, on shore! Feels like I'm on a little bit of a heater recently. Nice.

Dang. Wish I remembered about this on time.

Rather tough grid, but a really simple and straightforward breezy meta.

Ashore on a crowded beach. I'll have a... what do you call an Arnold Palmer with vodka? I'll have one of the those.

A Latrobe iced tea?

Latrobe has much to be proud of ... Arnold, Mister Rogers, and of course, Rolling Rock!

Update: Mr. G says it's called a John Daly.
