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.

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.
