Ashore.

Quick and.... what's the word...?

Just curious… Did you photograph the Geminid shower this week? I was awake at 3am Thursday but did not hear about it until later. 🙄

Ashore. Kudos to @ship4u for confirming my first answer as wrong, and telling me to keep moving forward.

I'll have an eggnog with a splash of Southern Comfort.

Good luck to all for a successful solve. If you see that I'm ashore - rare occasion of late - message me if you'd like a nudge. Be sure to include your progress so I can know better how to assist.

Got to shore quickly, but it took me a while to understand what the clue meant. 100% sure.

Quick swim ashore while drinking some Malbec. I agree with the Muggles who said that the answer is not straight... 😀

At first I thought you said you were drinking Malort and all I could think was "Why"!

Made it shore last night *I believe*
I don't see that the answer could be anything else, but it is still sitting a little funny with me.
Going to finish this coffee before I submit.

Ashore…… or if not, I’ve found a lovely oasis that boasts a muggle populous of its own. Even has a cabana boy, tho perhaps nothing served in a mug.

@colin I did not. From the preview and the reports after, I was glad that I was warm and toasty in bed. The number of meteorites seen here in the Northeast were very few although the sky was clear.
