“Harbor view”

Hi Strands fans. The biggest challenge of today's puzzle was working out what exactly the partial spangram of "water" connected to. I only figured it out two answers before the end.
Fortunately, I spotted lots of other water-related things to get me started. DOCK was below the word "water", with BARGE in the top right and SHIP to its left.
BRIDGE was in the top-left corner to give me more of the spangram's shape, and I was then able to connect it with a little trial and error. It was, of course, ONTHEWATERFRONT.
That left two answers to find in the bottom half. PIER was on the left, which meant I just had to connect LIGHTHOUSE to its right to complete the puzzle.

“Victory lap”

Hi Strands fans. It took me a little while to get in gear for today's puzzle. For whatever reason, the theme of "Victory lap" meant nothing to me, so I used a clue.
It revealed CROWN in the bottom-right corner, which is annoying, because one of the incorrect words I connected on the way to finding it was "crow".
No matter though. The puzzle was clearly about things you can win when you come in first place, so I quickly connected TROPHY in the middle of the board, and MEDAL below it.
The 'Z' in the top-right corner was part of PRIZE, which helped me see how the word "winner" could be extended into the spangram of WEHAVEAWINNER.
That also neatly isolated my two remaining answers. LAURELS was in the bottom-right corner, which just left PENNANT in the top left to complete the puzzle.
