On the beach! A G&T might be nice... :D
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:

On shore. First thing I tried worked. Had I been able to start this on time, it might have been a page 1 solve.

I may have been behind someone solving the grid and meta this evening. Multi-tasking can be thrilling,

but can you climb El Capitan and the meta simultaneously?

Ashore. Easy grid but, for me, a late eureka.
This one first required a Gaffney google, but then we were back into the Shenk shack.
