On shore. People, this meta has made me very very thirsty. Water, water, every where, / Nor any drop to, well, you know.
So on with he Father's Day, please.

Solved. Pretty sure I eliminated all other possibilities, but we shall see.

Happy Father’s Day and Juneteenth!

‘Find two grid entries that’ … is not my strongest suit, but I made it to shore without much fuss.

And that’s more than I can say for Fireball. No idea “What’s the connection” on that one.
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'm ashore, though this is the first one in a while that is far from a 100%-er. It's possible that there is a part of the mechanism that I've missed, so if any muggles believe there really is a 100% certain answer, PM me if you want to compare notes.

On the beach, I think. I'll just finish my morning coffee now, but I'll be ready for a G & T this evening.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Who wears a tie with a T-shirt?
On second thought, maybe Al.

Count me in the “I think I’ve got it, but not 100%” column.
