58. This ship has a regular star map with directions to the French king (7)
I had TRAWLER but am thinking this is not right.
Any ideas ?
I have one too many TRA's in my answers

I think trawler is right Clare - tra as the regular letters in star map with w for direction, le for the french and r for king. If its not then its a weird clue! So you may need to look for your extra tra elsewhere!

Further to my previous post - I feel confident with my TRA answers except possibly numbers 14 45 and 49.
Please tell me one of these is an ART !!!

Hi again. I'm still not sure about 'string quartet' for 69; if anyone has a better answer could you please give me an extra clue? I'm not convinced that it fits everything.
I thought I had an acceptable answer to my last one, 68 ('long drawn-out protractions') but when I counted up I see it needs to be an ART not a TRA. No-one else seems to be having a problem with this one, so please what am I missing? A hint would be much appreciated.

Hi calliewag
I have String Quartet for 69.
68 is an angaram of protractions - two words first word begins with s 2nd word begins with c and it does contain ART.
My problem still not solved....oh dear, must look again.

THANK YOU, Clare, you're a star! That one has been driving me mad and the one thing I hadn't tried was an anagram! Hope I can help you in return with your additional ART one.

Hello sarumite !! Once again I have to thank you for your exceedingly good clues ! I dont think I would have stood a ''snowflakes'' without them !! I still have many more to do but am feeling a bit guilty about asking - others seem to be on the finishing strait !!

calliewag,
So pleased I could help...I know too well how frustrating it can be after a while.
I'm beginning to doubt my answers now...possibly 65. Colour the map to utilise again (10) I have a word beginning with I and containing TRA. Rather hope it's wrong !
