So happy to be on shore this morning! I was just about to give up but looked one more time after coffee and a kolache.

It sure took me awhile, but I am ashore at last. Kinda fun, once it clicked. Enjoy the long weekend muggles - raising my glass of Reposado to you all!
Channeling Molly Weasley on a good day.

Hi, I'm new to the WSJ Crossword Contest. How do I know if I made it ashore, for sure?

Hi Lars! Welcome aboard!
None of us will know 100% for sure that we are ashore until we see the solution at 9PM tonight (12:01 AM ET). But you can always PM a fellow Muggle (board member) who has indicated that they are ashore to check your answer with them. We are a friendly group, so feel free to check in with any of us. The little 'Contact' word balloon under each Muggle's profile pic is the easiest way, or open the private messages interface by using the in-box icon at the top of each page.
Happy meta-puzzling!

After taking a look with new Sunday morning eyes, I am ashore. Wow, there are a few rabbit holes and one big coincidence in this grid that really kept me busy!

Come Monday, I'll be holdin' you tight!
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
And I just want you back by my side.

Finally ashore! So many, many rabbit holes. I was trying some crazy things, including one that ‘worked’ but didn’t yield a sensible answer. I figured it had to be something semi-obvious due to the number of beachgoers. But I couldn’t see it! Normally, if I don’t figure out the metanism fairly quickly, I never do. Glad I tried again!

Ashore.
Had to be towed off a reef by The Smarter Half.

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.
