Ashore. Just heard from Meg that she is solving on phone with no power. But Cabana Boy is providing a nice breeze.

Ashore. And I'm quite wobbly on my pins after weeks at sea, so make it Jameson, three fingers.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.
