On shore. Guinness or bourbon would be nice.

Ashore! Late to the party, but happy to be here.
H will have: Green Tea/Matcha, and J will have a Piña Colada—hold the rum.

Ashore. Late start, but took a while to see what I needed to see. Maybe time to try a new bourbon.

Ashore. "Nuked" that one, as we say in the Navy.

Ashore. I thought I had a quibble but then I looked back at what I had typed out and smacked myself in the forehead.

Wow page 5 already?!
Pretty easy this week, but very clever (as usual) and lots of fun!

On shore, but ironically sipping a Jameson and gingerale with great friends aboard a cruise ship…

99% sure I've got it, quick & easy one that probably took all of 3 minutes to solve after the grid was done. But I'm not sure that I particularly love how it answers the question... either it's a phrase or usage that I'm just not familiar with, or the last 1% of me that it's sure I'm right, is right. LOL.

Very late start, and fast solve. Similarly unsatisfied with the prompt/answer combo, but I see how it could work. Can’t see how it could be anything else, so… I’ll take a hot cocoa after my night swim to the shore.
