Ashore. Point the cabana boy in my direction -- I'll take anything cold. I'm not picky, just elated to have landed on shore without a struggle.

Visit to engine room. "Need more power, Cap'n!"
Did the trick. Presently, and possibly long into the night, quaffing grog on the beach.

I'm a little gun shy after last week but I believe I am onshore.

Nice construction but pretty easy solve. I'm trying to think of an appropriate numerical cocktail. Glenlivet 12...just the age, so doesn't really count. I recall something called a Seven & Seven (maybe with 7-Up). I give up, but perhaps will have two Gin & Tonics tonight.

I've mentioned before that I'm a tour guide at my ancestral home, Primitive Hall. Imagine my delight at getting a text today from my tour group saying that they were en route and their GPS said they'd be there much earlier than expected: at exactly 4 p.m. on the dot.
But the tour went well and I'm on shore!

In time for Happy Hour at the Tiki Bar where they're featuring

I'm guessing these guys are barnyard pals and there's some interspecies grooming going on.
All the same it makes me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail…

Ashore, after a long dry spell (well, Isaac kept me fairly juiced up).
