On shore before finishing the grid. But I suspect there will be a big divide on this one, between those who get it instantly and those who haven't the faintest idea what it's getting at.
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.)

A late start, but a quick swim to shore.

Ashore!

I'm gonna say easy, because this is the first or second I've gotten in one sitting, without hints. I guess I should see the movie!

Was working on a cryptic and forgot that today was the WSJ. Anyway—quick solve so Guinness me, or perhaps I have had too much Guinness and it is affecting my memory. I forget, did I have that Guinness. Better have one just in case.

Only 1 behind oldjudge. On any day I would take it, but on this one I missed a rare opp to beat him. Darn mortgage payments and work. Anyway, this one was easy breazy. I am going to stick with Pisco sour, this time Chilean style

Yoda is on shore as well. This will give me more time to fight the dark forces of backyard work this weekend.

Well. I know *exactly* what it absolutely must be.

The only trouble is its only a 42%

But I have it and am declaring myself ashore. I'll find out Sunday night it I'm on a beach being served painkillers by the cabana boy or it I'm in swamp be slowly smothers by boa constructors. (Hate it when I leave my glasses at home)

EDIT: The more I think of it the surety meter goes very quickly from 42% to 100%. (And the reaction of the muggles here confirm that). Haven't submitted yet. I hope I don't forget again like I have in the past.

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Oh, Yoda - @Darth got ashore over an hour and a half before you. How can this happen?
