On shore! After a couple of early morning Saturday solves, it's nice to able to enjoy a celebratory nip of Cognac while wiggling my toes in the sand!

Ashore. Discovered this week that despite having complete freedom to set office hours whenever I want, I decided to pick...4PM Eastern on Thursday for one of them :lol: <facepalm>

Often no one shows, but cost me 7 minutes today. :lol: :lol:

On the beach! Right up my bowling lane. The cabana boy says there’ll be a crowd (possibly a horde, pronounced with a hard "d" at the end for all you twisted people who think the cabana boy is looking for…..well, you know).
