Count us ashore, and *this* time I know we have the answer. (I don't want to embarrass myself with the total whiff that was last weeks....)
Yay! We solved a Gaffney. Yay! It was on a Thursday night.
Have a safe weekend all you fellow Muggles.

Got it with a mindset from watching The Blues Brothers and some consultation with my solving buddy
"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses."
"Hit it."

Did anyone else assume that it would be about James Joyce literature ?
So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Cruising with Bob to a beach.
One that's pretty close to Hoboken, the Joisey sho-ah and Jimmy Hoffa.

Don't know what made me think of this. Too many re-runs of The Sopranos and that show with Snooki?
Q: How is New Jersey like the Vatican?
A: Neither wants you pumping your own gas.

Ashore
I usually fly through the grid, but this was a bit of a slog.

Ah man, I had it earlier but forgot to announce on here. But anyhow, I’m onshore. Fun solve!

I'm ashore. I love it when it all falls into place very quickly. Which is pretty rare for me.

Onshore after some initial befuddlement. The speed with which Page 1 filled up convinced me that I must have been overthinking it.

On shore. This was a fun one even if I had to do it on my phone. Happy weekend everyone.

That was my first thought. I was rather pleased to discover otherwise.
