Dog paddling in circles, so I’m not sure in which direction the beach lies.

I assert without proof that I am ashore. What I've got has to be the answer. If this proves false, I have got the mother of all rabbits.

Ashore… nice one. Got the nieces and nephews hooked on metas while at the Jersey shore. Time for a Cape May IPA!! Can’t wait to nudge them in the morning!

Ashore! And page 3 which is pretty good for a newbie like me!
Time for bed now though, I’ll have my Guinness tomorrow.

Still at sea. Must be "one of those" (he says blaming the puzzle/constructor and not himself).

I am on the beach after looking at this grid on and off all day. Too late for a drink now, but I'm so glad to have solved before the week 5 Gaffney hits!

I’ll have a Meister Brau or maybe a Roma Old Fashioned on this Ryder Cup morning.

Finally ashore after a marathon swim. Maybe a nice oxygen mask through which I can still sip a Maitai? Tnx.
Holeee cow y’all. When you see it it will be a quick and satisfying reward to all your staring, I promise.

I have that same feeling I had last weekend when I stopped paddling my kayak on a windy lake for one second and was just spinning around like a cork in a whirlpool... looking forward to the Zoom later today!

Ashore after floating on my back and staring at the sky for quite a long time.

Well I've been using almost those words trying to figure out what I am sure I have to do but can't.Flying_Burrito wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 9:48 pmYou made me smile HeadinHome as I used the same words (verbatim and ad nauseam) over the past couple of months. I work in Tech consulting for banks for one of the big 4 and we are building interfaces (or APIs for any other techies out there) for an asset leasing app named Stucky (named after his owner Richard Stucky who made a fortune out of it). Often at 2 am as I burn the midnight oil I repeat those same words.
Apologies to people who were trying to get to page 2 and were inadvertently bumped by my digressing post.

Ashore! I was completely stumped, and then suddenly I wasn’t.

Friends, please join us on the Zoom group solve at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today! All are welcome, whether you have solved or not. Just click on the Muggle Zoom Room icon at the top of this page.
I am on the shore but needed a great deal of help from the always-patient "Other Wendy," @headinhome. This was a hard grid and an elusive meta!
On a happier note: Introducing my new cat, Felix!
