    Excellent as always! The one I don't understand is 14D if anyone has an explanation

      Glad you enjoyed! For that one I was going for CHEAPS[k]ATE* + E to get Chesapeake (Bay)

          y'know, I double checked that clue, read it again several times when typing out that explanation, and somehow didn't catch that ANY of the times. I have no good explanation for that! Thanks for pointing this out lol
