Ashore!

Quick swim to an Irish shore in my memory .. just across from Skellig Michael!

Ashore and landed at Giant's Causeway. Not a tropical beach but I love it just the same!

I'll have a Jamie and Ginger with a lime, please! First time I had one was at the Jameson distillery in Ireland. Now a perennial favorite.

Sláinte!

I had Yale, because we've owned the Ivy Tourney lately. Guess not this year.

What he and she both said.

Ashore. Happy St Patrick’s Day.

On shore.

Puzzle solved and safely ashore!

Guessed the correct mechanism at the beginning, but could not find a starting point.
Spotted an interesting rabbit hole and visited with Alice and the White rabbit for a spell. His name is Bob.
An Irish Prayer from auld lang syne, but today everyone is Irish and should work for all nationalities. Even Scots like Robert Burns.

May those who love us, love us;
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts;
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we will know them by their limping.

“That which was reached by us,” to (sort of) use last week’s parlance

Have a great St Patrick’s Day weekend!

Joining the St. Patrick's Day party on the already-crowded beach.

late start, late(r) finish, on the beach, yes, it's going to be a crowded party isle this weekend

time to dig the pit for the whisky pig. No, we aren't burning whisky, we're drinking it while waiting for it to finish roasting.

Isaac - I left you a case of Jameson's, but I don't expect you'll need all of them. You can enjoy what's not sold, would be a sham to let it go unappreciated.

On shore, after making it a couple of orders of magnitude harder than it should have been...

Thank you for the great memory! Spent an overnight on a 'whiskey pig' using someone's sober idea (at the time it was hatched) of stuffing its cavity with rice wrapped in muslin. Tasty, right? Well-seasoned & slowly cooked in natural broth.

The rice was perfect, the few spoonsful we could salvage. About dawn, just when the sewn seam was directly above the coals, the expanded rice wanted to be out, dousing the works. The pig was good to go, but we had to scramble to excavate the pit & rebuild the fire.

Fortunately, the whiskey made it hilarious rather than frustrating.

Well, someone has to keep him company.

Ahoy, Isaac!

Ashore!
Quick(ish) solve.
Sometimes when I don’t see it immediately, I have to remind myself of the genius Ronseal advert https://youtu.be/HJlCK2A9bAY.

Interestingly, that prayer was posted at the entrance to the Shaker Heights Country Club. I wonder if @Bob cruise director put it there on one of his golf trips.

Definitely onshore although one piece has me scratching my head.

Time to have my Irish-themed drink of choice, I suppose...
