Ashore. I had the right idea from the start but tried applying it in a couple of ways that didn't work out before hitting the correct one.

Lots of familiar old timers made it here quickly and are relaxing, drink in hand, under the palm trees. I wonder how less experienced solvers are finding this one.

On the beach, sipping a diet Pepsi.

Does Matt have a special affinity for 32A? This is the second time it has come up recently, if I'm not mistaken.

On the beach, with a little help from Mr. G. Clever puzzle, but apparently not too difficult, judging from the number of people already here.

Wow, this is a really impressive idea. On shore and a bit in awe of the Gaff.

Solved. Next task is to try to replicate a wonderful cocktail called a Mr. Carlyle served at the Bemmelman's bar in NYC. Sort of a fancy gin & tonic with St. Germaine elderflower liqueur, dried orange and a rosemary sprig. I've been trying all week and all delicious but none quite right. Everybody needs a hobby.
