On shore “literally”…and “figuratively”! Late start because we were en route to Hawaii. But our friendly hotel receptionist graciously printed a copy of the puzzle for us! Completed it sipping our Mai Tais! Fun one!😁

A few passes to complete the grid, followed by an "aha", followed by a confirming "ahh!"
Glad to be ashore - did someone say they serve butterbeer here?

Stay well!

Great to see everyone on the zoom today! Great fun as always! Have a great weekend everyone!

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Very clever construction on this one.

Always love visiting Chicago with all the spring tulips and flowers blooming!
Welcome!

edit: LOL I was actually planning on joining the zoom call this week and forgot about central time zones...

I finished the grid, wrote things out the way I normally do, something caught my eye and away I went down a rabbit hole. Huh, nothing there. Looked back at what I had and had a true moment of clarity - "Cindy, you dope, it's right there!"

Ashore.

Maybe @The XWord Rabbit will get a treat this week after all.
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.)

I'll use the 'E' word. Exciting to finally set foot on dry land after being adrift for so many weeks.

Sorry, Isaac.

I like you a lot, but we've been spending all to much time together. Now to find a seat at the crowded beach bar.

Martini night.
