Ashore. The aha moment to get from Step One to Step Two came when I had paused and was browsing in the fridge.

Ashore! Fun one, indeed. G & T please.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

I just finished the grid, which I will count as boarding the Love Boat. I'm going to let it settle in my mind for a while and hope to join you on the beach later. I hope we will not be in a crunch with our towels and umbrellas!

Ashore, I think. Would love to confirm with someone. :-)

Would have gotten in sooner if I hadn't gotten a call at 4:03. :-/

I always say, save me some beer. Well, that's several words but you get the idea.
