I got one! First time ever. Been doing these puzzles for a year now and never got one without help besides the Betty White answer which I guessed from the clue before finding the meta. Finally finally blessedly ashore.

Ashore for the first time in six weeks. Thought i'd lost my mojo. And was definitely getting stiff sitting at the bar. A good walk on the beach for me...then a Martini, please.

Ashore, also after some rough weeks. Sorry pool boy, no drinks until after a church meeting tonight — after which all h___ breaks loose!

Ashore! Quick solve, and a great crowd on the beach.
A fun one, very nicely constructed.
And it’s quite a relief to find my way to shore after the last few weeks!

Boy, was I overthinking this one (but that is one of my life mantras). Then is was bACk to bed. It is early, so I will tap into our cARAfe of coffee and make myself a homemade mocha. What an amazing construction!
