biggus, there's an "obvious" relevant short 2-word phrase in the grid - it's not that, but what goes *around* it, that I *think* needs highlighting?

Hi, cranberryboat. 21d is so obvious as to be shameless - is that part of it?

Hi again, cranberryboat. I'm still staring, with no great result. I can find a shark, but I doubt that's it. When you say *around*, do you mean physically, on the ground, or in the grid?

biggus, have a look at 17 & 19 across, the two-word phrase is in them.

11 relevant cells surround the phrase.

Thank you, Cruciluci

The two-word phrase along with the location led me nicely to what needed finding.

Thank you Ifor, a charming puzzle.

I have the crew and the location (25 cells by my reckoning) but I can’t find the name! Any hints?
Other than that, a lovely puzzle, most of the clues less taxing than previous weeks’. Happy Easter

Name is appropriately shaped and placed.

cranberryboat - I promise you that I cracked it before I read your last post. If you could see me now, you would look into my puppy dog eyes and know that I tell no lie... However, I wouldn't have got it without your earlier help: I was barking (or is that quacking?) up the wrong tree. Right forest, though.

Sorry, cruciluci and cranberryboat, I muddled you together. Thanks to you both.

All done thanks to your hint cruciluci, I've ended up with 39 cells highlighted but I'll settle for that!
