On shore! (I think!)

Happy Canada Day! Happy 4th of July!

[PhantomPhan]

Rowed my boat straight to the shore after overthinking it.

[PHOFER]

Ashore. Like others I was overthinking it. I’m puzzled (ahem) by the relationship of the title to the answer, but I’m confident in the answer.

[Collegetowngirl]

On shore! Similarly confused by the title. Perhaps the wrong shore?

[seahawks_seashanty]

It's been a very long time. But I'm on shore!!

Me too. A little bit.

[Doug C]

On shore. Felt pretty.dumb when I got it. Great example of what makes metas fun - you can struggle mightily and then it is.just there.

[Plymouthrock]

Without dubitation…. I think.
Something hazy.

I am a newbie and have just started the friday puzzle a few weeks ago. Slowly trying to get the hang of it. I have completed the puzzle but think I need a little push (or hard shove) in the right direction. I see a pattern with the answers but don’t know where to go from there

[eagle1279]

Still on the ship, eerily quiet, listening to the bubbles in my Prosecco, pop, pop, pop.

Ok, woke up at 4 this morning (too much Prosecco) and the answer popped into my head. I had way over-complicated it. On shore.

[femullen]

Oh, me achin' squash!

Hope your Canada Day célébration was as much fun as ours. At least I think ours was fun. Hard to remember.

Équipe Canuck have staggered ashore. I'll have an ice bag.

I've been working on finishing the outdoor workroom/potting shed. Finally got the plumbing hooked up. Plus, we had the front stone patio relaid this week so its level again. Friday had the neighbors over for dinner and cocktails (OK, cocktails and dinner). Busy week.

*Totally* forgot the wsj puzzle.

Quick trip once I started it this am.

[halseymac]

This NC Tar Heel is on the beach. Meta and grid solved! Happily starting a new streak after my Playing Dress-up WEAR debacle.

[Bob cruise director]

And don't forget Wendy's SSS today or the Last Call zoom session tonight at 8 pm (just before the fireworks will be starting)

[LizD]

Just returned late last night/early this morning from a lovely two-week visit to the Old Family Homestead in the North Carolina Smoky Mountains...

Whereabouts? I live in western NC!

[debbierudy]

Ashore, before finishing the grid. This was fun and straightforward.
Having travelled recently overseas, the title makes a little more sense to me than it would have otherwise.

[SusieG]

I have been to two different shores. Neither are 100% to me, but the second one seems more likely than the first, so I will stick with it. Good luck all!

[Nlobb]

Ashore!
Happy Canada day, happy our 51st anniversary, and happy 4th of July!!

[SamanthaA]

Aha! On shore!
