On shore. My daughter is just home from college. This semester she took a wine course. Yes, a wine course. We'll have to have some tests this holiday season. But for now I'll take a beer, thank you.

It took me a while, and some false starts, but now I'm happily ashore.

On the beach. This one took awhile. The Cabana Boy got it in 5 minutes! He's very smart and very toned.

Got past my fear of the dreaded parenthetical numbers and quickly made it to shore. I’ll have an Evan Williams eggnog with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I find cinnamon makes the eggnog more drinkable than nutmeg.

Ashore - this is about the right amount of difficulty for my taste. A little tricky but I don’t have to spend all weekend on it.

Ashore. A very clever mechanism and an enjoyable quest for it. There was a somewhat extended Now-what? moment before recalling some history and then finishing the job. A bonus for me is imagining with awe the process of constructing this. Genius.

Yep! Got it.
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.
