Thanks, Gooner. Yes, it was a crafty clue!

Can anyone explain 11Ac?

Smooth coming back from across the pond, then hail. (5)

S _ A _ E

Am thinking it must be SHAVE, which can mean 'smooth' ...
...and AVE can mean 'hail'...
...but where does the coming back from across the pond bit come in?

It’s not SHAVE

Thanks Candledave... I now see that it's SUAVE!

And I see why!
