Ashore! (Wow, page 4 -- thought maybe we'd get onto page 2 - but just shows we're still the slow ones around here!)

(I think the problem is that the electrons take longer to get to Denver... yeah, that's the ticket)

Forgot to look for this earlier. I'm in a different time zone.

Done and done.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Ashore4us. We'll accentuate the positive about this puzzle. Matt is on top of his game with this one. It was a head scratcher at first until the final AHA!

A Smithwick's Red Ale, please, at cellar temperature, just as the Brits like it, not too cold. And, some Cotswold cheese on a Mini Croccantini cracker. This one deserves some good cheer.

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

On shore... Serve up some 69 across!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

On shore drinking my Jameson and ginger ale! What to do for the rest of the weekend?
Thanks to all the muggles in this group. Participating is the highlight of the week!

I like how you always bring snacks.

Ashore. There was something vaguely familiar to this one, maybe because the first puzzle I ever constructed for the MMM back in October 2020 used a similar idea. (Mine was a bit trickier and had far fewer solvers.)

Just got home from visiting my younger son, his wife, and the grandkids. They are heading off on a five week European vacation so I definitely had to see them before they left. Quick solve though in about 15 minutes. Great puzzle by Matt so —-Guinness me!

I think I’m ashore!? Seems like I have the right answer but there’s one step that isn’t as locked in as usual.

Edit: realized I wrote something down incorrectly. Now fully satisfied!

On shore. Agree with others that this one is clever. Tough grid for me.
