Ashore! Back to P1 baby! I've said it before and I will say it again: Shenk is the master. In all the ways mastery presents itself. Never too much, never too little. Great cluing. And a very tight structure with connections everywhere.

Ashore. Had a slight misstep in the process which delayed my swim ashore.

Ashore, I believe. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. Beer me.
