On shore. Good grief. Page 5 already and it's only 5:30! When I started my post it was pg. 4. If I don't hurry, it'll be double digits. Have a great weekend, Muggles.

I’m on shore, and I just took a second look through the grid and don’t see any alternatives. I’m curious to know what you’re looking at if you’d care to PM me.

Made it to shore! Happy to have done it without even a slight nudge this time too. Thanks Mr. Gaffney!

Ashore, and not a moment too soon to claim a good spot on the beach. Send the cabana boy my way with a fresh towel and a tall one.

I feel like a horse's A-27 for not getting this one quicker.
On shore.
Back in the A-69. Yikes!

On shore. There's already quite a line at the bar. Good thing it's too early for a gin and tonic!
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:

On shore. Doubted myself at first because of the simplicity. Showed my husband who confirmed that it seemed right. Thought about waiting to submit until after Fri Zoom which would confirm my answer. But, by the looks of all the muggles who solved, I'm correct.

I haven't been on shore since July, so I'm glad to see an easy one for a change.
