:tropical_drink: :desert_island: On an obscure small shore - quite a refreshing change from all the "well-known" ones.

Ashore!

I kept falling off the stool at the Tiki Bar so they kindly put out this big easy chair near the beach for me.

Ashore!
Another one squeezed in before I need to be somewhere else.

Page 2 after 21 minutes?! It does seem that the beach will be crowded again this week.

Bespoke nudges available upon request (if I'm on shore, off the couch, in the castle, petting an un-bagged cat, ...).
Let me know how small or large a hint you want, or hit me with a specific question(s).

On shore. I'd try for a beer in each place, but that may be a bit much.
