First time ashore!

Solved. Short trip to the shore this week.
Make it a Manhattan

Ashore.

Nice smooth sail to shore. Fun puzzle. Getting some Mike Shenk love for our profession in the 33D clue - Awesome! Feeling like a little Ace Pineapple Cider to cool off from the hot weather.

Found the answer! Yeah!

I was thinking “Oat Cat Cafe” myself. As I googled “oat cat” to find anything that would go with it! Those were the days

Ashore and parched! Tried too hard, then saw the light. Thanks Zoomers!

Ashore yesterday.
Something made me doubt that I had the "correct" answer. Somehow PAGEANT crossed my mind, but that's seven letters.
Thanks to the Zoom Room crew and especially Wendy for the explanation.

Great Zoom Session!!! Wonderful to see everyone. I was asked if I owned a certain sports car and I've actually owned 2 of them.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Count me ashore!

We're going to need a bigger beach.

Natasha had it right away. We are elbowing our way on shore now. Glad that's done - our daughter is 15 today, and with as many friends in the pool, we'll enjoy an appropriate adult beverage at the adult afterparty.

You are almost certainly over complicating it.

And it’s a good reminder of why we don’t use the E-word around here. No matter how many get it quickly, there are always some, even some really good solvers, who just don’t see it.

I am GREen with envy for those who found the pATH more quickly than I did--and I tried to go fast! At least I won't be wORN out with endless rabbit holes and rEDOing my grid trying to find the answer. I'm guessing that the muggles will be packed cheek by joWL at the tiki bar this weekend.

I feel Ike you’ve used Great Horned Owl before!!

Ashore! That was refreshingly easy. It looks like the cabana boy is gonna be busy this weekend!

Thank you Mike Shenk! We needed this. I’m on shore!

Ashore with the crowd!

On shore

When I was thinking of a bird for this week, I was surprised to see that I hadn't used Great-horned Owl before. But I double-checked my spreadsheet (yes, my meta statistics spreadsheet has a column for the bird of the week! ) and it wasn't there. I HAVE used Burrowing Owl, Eastern Screech Owl, Northern Saw-whet Owl, and Short-eared Owl. We all nerd out about something.

And here is a pic of some Great-horned Owlets at the wildlife hospital I volunteer at. They really click their beaks at you when you go into their cage!

Ashore. cant believe i got it so fast ... within minutes. but after last week deserved something more straightforward. G&T about right

Congratulations! The first time figuring it out is SO satisfying!
