I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to give me a hint for this question. It's my last one and has been driving me mad! I think the answer is a fish, if not it will upset the balance of the other answers.

69. Propel to small delta near the shore (7)

Thanks.

There's a small shark, the name of which consists of metal worn on a cowboy's boot and an animal. I'm not totally convinced.

Thanks for your tip seamus - I'll look into that.

Polly if you would like to list the numbers of your fish, we can see which ones tally.

I agree with all those except for 24 but looking at my answer, I think it's really suspect. So that would mean I need one more 'other' to replace my dodgy answer.

I'm having second thoughts. I see now how I arrived at my answer for 24 - bodybuilders build up their ????? and if you use the 'hearing' clue, you get another spelling which are found underwater. So maybe not a dodgy answer after all.

I was also concerned about my answer for 24 - my other possible answer is not a fish and after looking again I think the 'hearing ' part of the clue settles it !! I now have the right number of fish so long as 69 is not a fish !!
Do you want to go through page 2 ?

Don't say that - 69 has to be a fish - at the moment!!

Sure do pages 2 and 3.
