Ashore, but in the sense of wandering in the canyons of Tatooine. Could end up happily sipping on an iced “Jedi Mind Trick” in Mos Eisley by the end of the weekend, or trampled by banthas (marching single file).

Happy solving - meta force be with you all.

On shore, but not in Hawaii anymore. Very cold in NH at 40F. I'll just hibernate until it hits 70.

On the boat. I keep trying to implement 69-Across and just wind up looking at my feet.

Oh, and before it’s too late, wishing everyone a happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you
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.)

I had to think outside the box to get this one. I wonder how many of us still solve on paper. Some of us diehards travel with blank grids just in case we can't print out the puzzle.

I am ashore. I poRED over it a bit without much success. I fear that my husband may be getting a little COCky, as he saw the first step again. Which comes in handy when my meta brain goes KAputt and I need help DEDucing things. I guess that I will have to let him sWOOp in and use "the" mug--if I shoulD,PErhaps, get luCKy. I think we'll have mint juleps--although we don't have silvER cups.

Ashore. No solid click but can’t imagine any other solution fits the bill, willing to lock it in.

Ashore early on a Thursday night. Maker’s Mark on the rocks.

On shore with zero doubt. I'll be curious to see what other answers were considered by you all!

Ashore. Had to sleep on it and then found the beach. You’ll know it when you get it.
