Onshore! H got it before we finished finding half of the parts, lol. H wants a calzone for her drink? J will have something more normal like an iced coffee.

Ashore!

On page 4 certainly means others are easily getting it! Fun for us!

I laughed at 1 across. Matt, you’re getting old. You’d think you’ve got two little kids or something. 🙂

Learned a new word at 52 down.

This would be a good meta for beginners. Unfortunately, everyone I know has already heard way more than they wish about crosswords from me. But who should I send it to anyway? Hmmm.


🏖️🍹
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

On shore. That was fun...and clever, as usual. Hit me with a freshing "ranch water." Only learned about it yesterday and sounds appropriate for the 90 degrees we're experiencing already here in north Florida.

On shore... but isn't there something a little weird going on here?

EDIT - Never mind. I didn't see the numbers.

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.

A late start for me this week and not surprised to see the pages filling up quickly. I am on the beach, ready to build a sandcastle.

Ashore and hoping to find a spot where I can lie down and finish reading this novel I've started a couple of times and given up on. The novel is relevant for this meta.

Late start again (For me). 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.

On the shore!
"Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"

Jane is at the symphony but I'm sure she will join us all on the beach soon.
I prefer my kale with a silent K.
