Safely ashore!
Harder grid, easier meta.

Ashore! I took a couple detours along the way, but happy to get my first one in August.

Pops concert on the shore of the Mississippi River to celebrate this weekend!

Happy to join the crowded beach! Hottest time of year here is coming up (Labor Day), so a visit to the beach is welcome.

Late start, but an easy swim to shore.

Room for one more on the beach? Late to get to the puzzle, but one of my quickest swims to shore.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

I just solved it! I am ashore with the crowd. Nice to solve one after 3 weeks on the Love Boat.

Fast ride to shore once I solved the grid. Nice breather after the last couple of weeks.

Might have to do a meet-up with the Cincinnati Muggles. First Hi-Wire (Lo-Pitch hazy IPA) and then Fretboard (Arlo IPA) at Factory 52. Keeping with the Buy Lo(w) theme
Love the theme! We celebrated with a variety at Factory 52. The Ace ♠️ Guava Cider was a favorite

I had absolutely no idea of the answer yesterday, but I finally solved it this morning. I saved myself from the humiliation of being the only person on this entire forum who has not solved the puzzle.

Solved. A well-chilled Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay would be great on this hot, humid afternoon.

Ashore and find the beach very crowded already. Guess I shouldn't have slept in.

MaiTai, of course!

My data is only from March 2020, but the largest number of submissions I have is 4554 on 10 September 2021. BarbaraK has a more complete set of data I believe.
