In other crossword news, I've been published in the new edition of
1 Across magazine with a pirate-themed crossword. But don't go rushing down to WH Smith to pick up a copy because it's subscription only.
Here are a few clues from it:

What covers hatless pirate? (5)
Kind of race for Long John Silver and Hawkins (5-6)
