Haven't been around much and was coming here for a clue, but I'm on the shore.

Took a break from Thursday’s failed attempts and just got time to check it again. My initial thought was correct. I needed to apply in a different manner. On shore! Good puzzle.

Made it to shore! Nice puzzle.
Happy to provide nudges if you see that I have solved.

Sure is quiet out here on the sea. Engines have stopped. Going nowhere. But there is a bottle of red handy, and I think I'll go have a consultation.

On shore thanks to Mr. LadyBird's observant eye. We already enjoyed some sangria at a tapas restaurant--making the most of Restaurant Week in Chicagoland.

On the beach yay!! Had been glancing at it off and on all day. Then decided to focus on it instead of my usual bedtime book and the answer jumped out. Happy to be in the beach two weeks in a row!

On the beach. Just curious. How many people here have actually won a mug?

Not me, but then I'm kind of a newbie. I've only submitted a little over 300 correct contest entries. Maybe this week will be the one!

Considering the number of People Who Like to Count Things in this group.....surely someone has a list of mug-winners among the muggles!

I think we should task the tallying to @ky-mike, whose family has won three.

Forgot to post Friday night: Ashore.

Daughter saw the metanism pretty quickly. It took me a couple of minutes. But I would probably put it in the easy category.
