Good Friday morning muggles

Among the streaming, colored, backwards and other animated texts, I have 3 on the ship and 166 on the shore.

Fun meta by Matt but don't overthink it.

Oh yeah, this is going to be fun.

BTW, the next tender is leaving for the shore. All aboard who's going ashore....

Quick solve during lunch break. Drinking menu for the weekend: Lacroix Lime, Lacroix Pamplemousse, Lacroix Lemon. Got give up something different next year for Lent because this is killing me (sorry Big Guy, I know you were not too comfortable on that cross either)

Late getting started,
On shore fairly quick this week,
I will have some wine.
Actually, it's a little early for wine. Will have that later. Just looking for five syllables.

Just able to get to the puzzle. Finished the grid relatively quickly. Not seeing any obvious (to me) solutions so far. I may be late to the zoom but will be there as soon as possible.

On shore, I think although I feel there is at least one loose end I'm not tying up. Anyway, I'll have a black coffee.

Couldn't sleep having spent the drop-time & its soon thereafter purchasing annual USGA GHIN subscription & getting all those pretty coupons & priority tee time registration privileges in return. Clubs needed to be shined, shoes brushed, balls marked, gloves, towels, cart, divot tools, rain gear, & umbrella checked, bag squared, & tees slotted.
⛳

For what it's worth, I prefer the WSJCC beach to those on courses.

Flask? What flask?
Just in case something happens to your clubs, you can always borrow these that my father had and are still at the lake. Not sure why he had them; he only ever played golf once in his whole life.....

I do intend to clean them up someday for display purposes.

Ashore!

Happy to have found my way [somewhat] quickly.

Again, I felt the urge to over complicate things.

My Joyce was to go to the shore!

Joyce was the name of one of my parents' friends. Our families went camping together for years. No trip was complete before Joyce's husband had to pull over and debate the best route to get to the campground.

My mom was our navigator, she always had everything planned out. We'd just laugh about "Mr. Joyce" and his confusion on the route.

On shore with help, I was on the correct path but didn't trust myself so asked for a nudge. Very clever, as always.
