Looks like Mercator's projection

*(comers art) with "new" as anagrind + screen = projection.

I got projection, but had never heard of that Mercator fella before.

Don't have "Mimosa" any more <Sob>. Went in the divorce. I use chartered yachts now. It does mean you can fly, pick one up and sail in places like the Barrier Reef. Take a while to get there by sea!

My days of long passages are well behind me now. If I fall overboard it's nice to be in warm water!

I'm well aquainted with Gerardus Mercator's projection. Not needed now with GPS (I've got 5 of those). I remember when they were a bit erratic as the Americans put in false readings to combat an enemy firing missiles at them, using their technology.

I was on a yacht in the Solent when we were trying out a system called "differential GPS" with the man who thought it up.

Done two Atlantic crossings (one from Cape Town delivering a cat to Chesapeake Bay) and it's boring as hell, especially if you have a dozy crew, who are just in it for the mileage to get their sailing qualifications. Never again. I know the BVI like the back of my hand though. Taken a few "celebrities" around there. It's Rolls Royce sailing, best around Christmas.

I think the second one is Machu Picchu - Incan descent.

Not sure about the other one.

Should be something to do with Romancing The Stone. Can't see it though.

I meant crossword help not ancient sailing ditties.

Doh - I had identified that clue as the only one Maccu Picchu would fit and I still couldn’t parse it

Thanks, Professor Google has already been most helpful.

I thought the 12 letter one began with P??

I'm really confused. Thought that was referring to just the first clue - are all the quiz answers words that start with M or P?

[Sandstorm]

The second one is ASTUTE - as + tu + reversal of et.

The first might be Monday, but if so, I don't understand the second bit of the clue.

Monday was all I could come up with too but no idea the electrifying bit!!

Genius - I don’t know why but whenever I am stumped by a clue it’s often a hidden word. I always forget to look.
