Yeah, I've got two alternates that are a bit of a stretch, and went with the obvious.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Ashore!

I’m with the folks who don’t think there are multiple possible solutions. Took me quite a while to find the one.

Pretty sure I'm ashore! Will treat myself to a drink on the assumption that I am correct!

Had a little trouble with the grid but pretty sure we are on shore now. We just feel we need to solidify our answer somehow.

On shore! Got a late start and the meta also took me a while. It's one of those that would have driven me crazy if the right idea didn't pop into my head.

I am at a loss for alternative answers, and think it must be this one. If others fit, though, I'm confident they'll accept them.

On the beach... Feeling like a Jawa juice!!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

I believe I'm onshore, but a little tentative about this one. Answer seems to work, but as others have said, really wishing there was a solid click. Not submitting just yet, but beer me nonetheless.

Wow, this is my first time making it to shore by page 3. Worth at least one Guinness!

Glad to see so many others are not 100% confident in their solutions. I believe I am onshore, but I would like to find something else to solidify my solution.

On the beach! G & T me... in about 8 hours time. :D
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Ashore4us! We had a tough time trying to "Connect" with this one. The first beach that we swam to was so deserted, the only living organisms were bunches of seaweed. So, we swam back to the ship and joined Isaac for another round.

It took a while, but we finally made it to shore!
Don & Cynthia

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Sounds like the @The XWord Rabbit might finally be getting some love this week?
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.)
