This remains: 7D The sailor's craft, but not the old salt's (4,4)
L _ K _ B _ A _. Thought it was life boat - think it's a mistake? The K comes from PORKER above which is rock solid.
All done?
Yes, porker looks good.
I couldn't see the reason for life boat anyway
simply lake boat?
Lake boat
probably not- maybe another meaning of craft
A boat used on a lake as opposed to the sea and therefore not an 'old salt's' boat.
Hi shoota- my comment was to my own post not yours. But it probably is lake boat, I now agree. I just wondered if they would try to be more crptic by using craft to mean a different thing (an art/ability) as well
Question Author
Thanks LAKE BOAT makes sense. Can I squeeze one more in??
