Got it! Wow. That’s a good one! On the beach and having a cocktail to celebrate Moderna #2 today as well!
I thought answer was 100% but I know others disagree. I hope I’m right. Happy to provide nudges if needed.

Are you sure? I think there was something like this on Ghsst Hunters. Or was it Ghostbusters?

On the beach - learning to take my time once I think I have it to make sure everything's accounted for. Might eat dessert first tonight in lieu of beverage.

I wasn't imaginative enough to come up with two possible answers, so I'll go with the one I did find. I don't see what about it might evoke quibbles.

Ashore, but stepping a bit cautiously, as I think it’s possible that I have arrived on the wrong beach. Hoping that figure in the distance is a cabana boy, rather than a cannibal ...
And ... belatedly ... I thought of another possible answer, but I’m happy with the one I sent in. It’ll be interesting to compare notes Sunday night ... .

I'm on a beach, but as with others, not sure if it is the right one. I'm not seeing an alternative answer that others have alluded to, so I'm going to wait until tomorrow to submit, to see if I come up with anything better in the meantime.

Not happening this week - to further the football analogy - I’m like Pete Caroll in XLIX - so close but yet so far.

Well I’ve submitted an answer but I’m having trouble believing it’s quite right. If anyone wants to compare educated guesses dm me!
Yeah - other muggles got the same thing. I’ll say I’m on shore, and a drink of about any kind would be most welcome right about now. Too much workin!!

I know I'm close but....
Can I swim over and mark my spot on the beach with a towel?

What everybody else said. My experience was akin to smelling something delicious baking in the kitchen, circling back around and seeing my darling spouse icing an incredible-looking cake, getting called down to sit at the kitchen table, with a big slice waiting, fork ready...and as I raise the first, amazing bite on my fork to my ready mouth, she says... “Oh! And it’s vegan!”
I mean, I’m obviously still going to eat the cake, it’s just not as satisfying as the run-up. (On shore, calling this one done.)

I'm on the shore with the crowd that found a nice strong current but then hit what I first thought was a sand bar and then realized must be the beach. I'm curious what the other possible answer is and hope it's not better than mine:)
Good luck to all the muggles competing in the ACPT this weekend! I'll be sending speedy solving vibes your way. Please let us know how it goes.

On the shore
I agree with many posts that I'm not confident of my submission, but a big Gaffney clue I believe is pointing me in the right direction.

On shore. After talking it through, we feel 99% positive about it.

On shore! So many little subtleties in this puzzle that made for an enjoyable meta journey!

I was wondering if that colony was still there. At the wildlife hospital that I volunteer at, we usually get patients from there every year--juveniles that fall out of the nests.KayW wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:07 pmA very timely Bird of the Week!

Matt has caused a spasm of cliches to erupt.
Still, I've found what "must" be the answer, but can't calculate the odds.
Not sure what the other thing could be. So I'll settle for this and that.
