Found my way ashore while flying home from the Naval Academy. Martini sounds about right.

I spent a lot of time in the water and swam to the wrong beach first, but Ashore with the help of the zoom.
Perhaps a martini, shaken not stirred.

On the beach after taking a machete to all the overgrowth on the path, with cheer leading of mixed efficacy by the Friday zoom group.

Needed time to talk through with the other half of the team. We have an answer and maybe a justification. Good enough for us. Have a great weekend!
Editing to add... Looking forward to seeing people in Natick!

Well I am on a shore and that is about as far as I can go. It seems like a plausible shore, and I got there systematically and surprisingly fast, but I am not . "nope 100% final answer Regis" (though I did send in an answer).
Bourbon me please

On shore. The metanism came to me in the middle of the night on Thursday night, after my solving buddy kept saying, "Look at the title!" (Hello, moderators..... that's not a spoiler, right? We're always supposed to look at the title.) I join the group who are puzzled at the link between the answer and the title.

Well, someone has to keep Isaac company. Just solved the grid, now scanning the horizon for land.

Count me on the ship - still struggling with the move onto Stage 2. Maybe a drop of Liquid Courage in my coffee will knock something loose.

Ashore! Had the first steps on Thursday but then had to let it simmer for a couple of days...looked at my work with fresh eyes this morning, and saw the path to the end.

I'm also on a shore that seems plausible, but by no means a sure thing. Will send it in unless I stumble onto a better answer.

How can I still be at sea AND chasing rabbits down holes at the same time?! Is there a sandy shore to be found somewhere in these holes?

Late start, but on the shore. I wonder how many others also fell into one particular rabbit hole…
Anyhoo, a diet Pepsi, please!
