I think Captain Stubing just ran the whole ocean liner aground on the beach.

Or else we're all on the wrong beach!

On shore!

Glad to be back on the beach!

On shore. Quite easy. Got a very late start and did finish the grid first. Grid was kind of fun.

Yes, I believe it is.

I am not sure if this will be a record but it has to be records for fastest solves

... except usually when one does too easy an answer it doesn't exactly fit all the conditions that are being asked. It may relate to but some aspect is not being addressed or something is superfluous. Or occasionally but rarely, one stumbles one the right answer but overlooked the one key that locks it in that it must be the answer.

For my answer, *every* aspect is being addressed; admittedly to just the minimum required.. but everything is being addressed directly and succinctly. It's just.... I wasn't made to work for it.

... I'm nervous.

Three in a row. Starting to miss Isaac.

Ashore with the herd after getting a late start. Agree that it's a good one for newbies.

On the beach, reluctantly…. 🏖

Ashore! My fastest time yet. (Not a humblebrag; usually I wind up obsessing over these all weekend!)

On shore. The contest submission button is missing for me so for a second I thought it was actually the Thursday puzzle and it was just a theme.

I laughed when I saw all of these comments about solving it before finishing the grid.
I could have done it too if I'd stopped for a second to think. I didn't expect it was going to be that easy so I filled in the whole grid first. Also, I was partly thrown off by an unintentional red herring.

Maybe my chance of winning the mug will be better next week.

Late start. Count me ashore...in a very long line at the beach bar.

I think I’m ashore! but ... too easy perhaps?

EDIT: Ashore!

(breaks out in singing On My Own from Les Miserables...)
(or Sistas Doing It for Themselves! may be more appropriate)
(ordinarily it would be En Vogue’s, Never Gonna Get It!)

I Always do the grid though I probably had it half way through of earlier. Count me ashore

Ashore on Thursday--a rarity for me!

My version doesn't list the author and editor. Is this a fluke of the overseas download? Or what's up with that?

Anyway, easy and restful. That always makes us brace up for a hideous revenge in some following week.

On Shore !
