On shore. I see last week's winner is close to my home. So close that I am feeling good about finally winning that random drawing. Cheers to all.

Finally back on the right shore after two weeks on a deserted island. Two KAS 4 metas in a row... *facepalm*

Thanks, Barbara! I will try post some pictures and a report tomorrow.

Ashore. Bottom shelf whiskey and soda time.

Actually, discontinued and discount rack whiskey.

Ashore. Enjoyed this one.

ALS

Measured it up pretty quickly. No headache this week.

On what apparently will be a crowded shore. Now what will I do all weekend? (Oh, and I enjoyed the Easter eggs at 17D, 25A and 59D for us Muggles!)

On shore.

Ha! I was thinking of saying something like that, but thought that statement could be spoiler by itself.

I'll simply say that the grid gave me more difficulty than the meta. It's only Thursday and I feel late to the party on shore.

Dang - got the first part, the second has me chasing rabbits all over. Guess I need to sleep on it.

We're on a road trip with very little cell signal so couldn't get to this till we arrived at our bed and breakfast (Astoria, OR). But it was a quick solve!

Got it. Well, that was fun. Now to work some magic tidying up the stern garden before heading to shore.
P. S. I’m out of the (now tidy) closet as a reformed lifetime pack rat, thanks to Marie Kondo’s gentle guidance.

I'm on the gangplank, but the harbormaster refuses to process the bill of lading...

I can only take the metaphor so far. Solving on an iPhone on the web interface, and I can't submit. Never had this problem before. Any thoughts?

You can always e-mail it. Many of us do it that way.

On shore. This shore. Not going to be on the shores of the Columbia and Snake Rivers next week, as originally planned. Bonneville lock problems have forced a cancellation of a riverboat cruise we've had planned for over a year. Back-up plan: shores of the Finger Lakes.

Fun meta this week.

On shore, after a night of despair worrying that I had completely lost the knack for solving these, I found the way this morning.

On the crowded shore. I had a mental block for a while but this is classic Marie

Done as well.

Got it.
