| 1. | To be able to shuffle so many letters is impressive and this earns a point if only for that! | | 2. | Ingenious, but how can the sailors be plastered if the ship has no rum? |

My clue 40 was actually:
"The ship has no rumpled sail or speed of fare, kept from the port"
-> "The ship has no rum; plastered sailors, peed off, are kept from the port"
but an internet problem near the deadline meant what was submitted was a mid-edit combo of two drafts. Apologies to the judges for the screw up. It wouldn't have troubled the excellent 21, 37, and 8 anyway. |
