No longer swimming with the sharks and hanging on the same beach as everyone else (hopefully!)

Oh, dear --
Hate to break it to you @sharkicicles because your idea made me laugh out loud, but I found this website -

You are indeed! Welcome! Pull up a beach chair and have a drink!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Ashore since yesterday. Saw what I needed quickly but it took several minutes before the d'oh! moment hit me in the face. I don't see how it can be anything else.

On a shore! I've been pregaming, but I'll have another cabernet please.
Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

On the shore. I was there but was overthinking so much I didn't realize it until the Zoom call pointed out why I had it. Sheesh.

Late start, quick solve… enjoyed an Iron Ranger from the cabana boy. But this was a fun one to try and reverse engineer the construction. Clever idea and execution!

On a shore-don’t think I am alone here but not sure if I am at the main party. Nice to have a reason to look forward to Monday!

Our vacation has COMe to an end and I am joining the uncertain MOb on shore (in my case, the shore of Lake Michigan). I do think it uNLikely that we are being pageanted. Since it is not yet nOON, I will have an iced coffee.
