Solved! A little wine tonight!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

Fast creative sprint to the end! Thanks Mr. Gaffney for the carnival ride to shore. CLEVELAND GUARDIANS TIME PLEASE. Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale for the win.

On the beach. Got a little confused, but finally got there. Irish coffee please!

P.S. I believe I am deserving of double points on this one. I managed to complete this with a naughty cat on my lap, trying to bite the end of my pen as I wrote.

Yikes, that was a challenge, but beautifully crafted. Prediction: There are going to be complaints anyway.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Solved. I'll have some wine. Great puzzle!

I spent most of the time just finishing the grid and made several mistakes...

Solo swim to shore!
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

I *think* I've got it, but I've been to the wrong beach before.

Yep, swam to the wrong beach yesterday, but am certain I found the right one today.
I was going to be specific on the red wine I was going to have, but it comes from that five letter country and I don't want to be a spoiler. ;)
