99% sure of my answer. Finding it was a quite involved process, and if it's wrong, I can certainly defend it. Winter Ale for me tonight!

I just kept swimming and swimming and eventually ended up on shore somehow.

On shore! Lovely puzzle. Am awarding myself bonus points for solving on my phone on line at the the DMV.

Ashore! Sweet one. I still can’t solve these in ten minutes. :( Nice job page one-ers! Margaritas with the wife!

On the beach! G & T later tonight,thanks.
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:

On shore. Delay in starting followed by quick swim. Expecting lots of beach company and crowded dining conditions Sunday. Very well constructed and enjoyable meta.

I believe I'm ashore. Like another poster, I'll call it 99% but I submitted it.

Wow! MIke is on his A-game with this clever one, especially the... never mind.

Glad to be ashore with all you nice folks.

Ashore! No doubt! Very clever meta! Might have made an earlier page, but I was delayed by having to fix a loose screw on my work table. Seriously! I kid you not! (And, yes, I realize that certain jokes might be made at my expense … 😜.)

Ashore after being swept backwards on the tides of ignorance (two specific areas). It also didn't help that I overlooked an obvious connection and instead found a wrong, but plausible, substitute.
