On shore. And, no, I will not sing for my beer. You would not want to hear that.

I heard rumors in the past of a discord for group solving WSJ Crossword contests? Could someone share the invite with me? I'm woefully stuck with Isaac today.

I just had an epiphany while on my walk. One sec, let me check (no POE, second page anyway, haha).

Update: Yep, 100%. Moral of the story: Go on walks more often!!

On the beach. The cabana boy says it’s too cold for his Speedo. I got him a new one for Christmas.

This one is unambiguous. If you have it, you’ll be 100% certain.

Nudged in the right direction. On shore.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Hrm... I'm generally a musically inclined individual, but I'm apparently going to tell Isaac all about it...

Ashore! - A little tricky, but the fact that we got it means it must not have been too tricky!

Onshore4us! Toes in the sand, Smithwick's Red Ale in hand. Nice one Mr. Shenk.

As soon as I saw Chopin mentioned, I knew that I was going to enjoy this one. The Polish composer is my favorite. The nun who taught me music would be proud!
