With so many onshore so early perhaps we need to start a gofundme for Isaac to make up for loss of tips and business.

Puzzle rekindles memories of a transistor radio, a hidden wire, and afternoon hardball broadcasts in 4th grade.
Matt throws a good curve in there. Best to wait for your pitch.
So. Yes. Ashore. Violently. Turned out the water level had dropped precipitously. The shore met the bow stem!
A week later all is well again.

Easy row ashore to what is looking to be a crowded beach this fall weekend. (Too cold to swim.)

Ashore! This had to be hard to construct. Cheers, everyone!

On shore, with a total gimme by Matt. I tell ya, it's usually famine with MG, and when it's not, it's readily apparent. Am I complaining after "whiffing" for what is likely 26 weeks (ok, really only 8) in a row? No sirree Bub. I'll take what ever little victory there is.
I bought a new Amoro recently, so I'll celebrate with Sfumato.
Please take good care all.

Ashore! But I can’t find a place to sit down and the cabana boy is too busy to take my order …
. So maybe I’ll swim back to the ship and hang out in the bar all by myself …

After a very long dry spell I am on shore again-I was beginning to despair of ever reaching it again! Beer, please!

I am ashore!
Wait…let me think about this.
I haven’t been able to solve the MMM this week, but I solved a Matt Gaffney puzzle on the first day it’s available? What is this world coming to?!

On shore. Wow, this was the first one in a very long time in which I figured out the meta answer before finishing the grid.
