I am ashore! First time on day one for me in quite a while! I think I'll celebrate with a Budweiser this week!
If you see me on the beach, feel free to pm for a nudge. After all the help I’ve got, I am happy to send it forward when I can!

Joining the large group ashore. Could not really figure anything out in the SW corner and needed help to complete the grid.

Made it to shore. Lots of time for weekend chores now! Moscow mule seems appropriate.

Ashore—I feel the same, but I think my wife has ideas for me. Something about “really clean the patio.”

On shore.

Looks like Matt tried to create the puzzle without the numbers, then gave up.

On shore. I don't usually look at this on Thursday but knew I would not have much time this weekend. It was fun, but in hindsight I probably could have waited. Pretty quick solve.

Late start but I'm ashore!
I'm drinking a glass of Txakoli (Basque wine) IRL.

Ashore after treading water for weeks now! Wow, after all that time, I need a strong fruity drink with an obnoxiously large garnish!
