Sam's Sunday Cryptic LXVIII: Stormy Weather

◆◆ · By sammisamsam · Published 2024-05-12T04:54:45.798Z

Constructor's Note
Always happy for any comments/criticism/feedback! For example: 'Why did you use this theme in May instead of during hurricane season?' is a valid criticism. "Shouldn't you have made a Mother's Day theme if you were going for a theme this week?" Also a valid criticism!

      Nice one! I needed a co-solver to tell me who Thor Heyerdahl was tho. And ya know, where's the Mother's Day theme??? :-)

        Maybe next year? If I think ahead enough?

        Thanks! There's a typo in 7D: "to to speak" should be "so to speak".
