Ashore. Grid was tougher (for me) than the solve. This meta's a classic.

Ashore. First idea was the right one, so I missed any interesting rabbit holes that might be lurking there.

On shore quickly once I got home and had a chance to look at the puzzle. A rare occurrence these days. Now for a glass of cabernet!

Busy day today but not sure I would have made page one even if patient care allowed. Sort of tough grid and it did not jump out right away. But when I saw page 1 filled before 4:20 I decided I was making it too difficult and sure enough there it was. Sort of post inspiration. Clever and tight as usual. Thank you Mike!

Stay well all

Finally got an opportunity to work on this - on the shore

To repurpose the dogsled phrase applied to being on page 1 "if you aren't the lead dog, the view is all the same"

One of my fastest swims ashore after a late start today. Classic Shenk.
