Luckily I saw BRITON in the NE, having all of the other letters on that cross, and eliminated other possibilities at the VELA/KENOLIN cross. I was thinking "sci-fi piloted" for 29A Worked in Starbuck's business, but of course, the *other* Starbuck in "Moby Dick" gives us WHALED. Not much for me to complain about, except my 31:14 time. Had it not been for a few tricky crosses, I'd have come in ten minutes sooner.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
