Ashore after a late Thursday start, no sandbars in the way. Suspect we'll have a crowded beach by Sunday.

Ashore with too many false starts (l’m embarrassed to say) before the “duh” moment hit me.

On shore two weeks in a row. Yay!! In a hotel without a way to print, so had to solve online. Not my favorite way but it got the job done.

Count me ashore. Obscure or not, I'm sure it's a lovely place. A mighty fine pils, if you please.

I was going to say “Ashore,” but there’s a lot of that going around.
Then I was going to comment about that tricky lower left grid…but nope, that’s pretty well covered.
So, I’m just going to bask quietly in my smugness at a Thursday solve.

On the shore quickly, once I was able to start after getting the overnighting grandkids to bed.

Ashore. No Aha! moment, though, as it creeps up on you from start to finish. Entertaining grid, classic meta: Who could ask for anything more?
