thanks sallyw; is it an anagram ? where are the beer bottles ? I am a bit slow today after all the emotional upset yesterday on 9/11.

thank you jazzgirl and AB. Not quite finished yet and may have to come back.
by the way, 51d leg beneath raft section, prepare to surf ? is it log in or log on ?

not sure Francis. Could be either ?

on side is the leg side in cricket so I would go for log on

I just this minute logged out. And the site invited me to log in .
But it seems that those cricket terms are very common in cryptic crosswords. I guess I will have to try again and learn all about cricket. (that may take some time ) lol

thanks.
does the raft section give a pointer ?

would that be Graham Pointer ?
