First, I am honored for the nomination. And boy, have I got a story this week. I thought I was almost there, with a answer that would fit if I could find the last two things I needed, but kept coming up short. Right church, wrong pew. Glad I didn't submit before I had confirmed.
Done and done.

Happily on shore, enjoying a homebrewed blackberry sour ale.

Ashore. Inspired by our favorite Pennsylvania rodent (Punxsutawney Phil) we saw the light and solved the puzzle. Thank you Mike for this extremely well done puzzle.

Ashore. I spent the last half hour knowing the answer but missing one little thing to complete it, but I figured out my careless error.
2 weeks in a row, woo-hoo!
Now what do I do until Saturday puzzles appear?

Ashore4us! Thanks to our muggle friends, I can discover that I am not quite as dense and slow-witted as I sometimes think that I am! We love this group!

Ashore. Good puzzle.
You always put it succinctly and with just the right elucidation.

Late start. Tough grid but luckily saw this one quickly. Count me ashore.

Made it ashore! Sure got distracted by some “convincing” rabbit holes that just wouldn’t go anywhere.
Reading Watership Down….must be the reason I got so stuck!
