      Good and fair puzzle, with some lovely cluing. 7A and 4D are my favourites. 12D also very enjoyable. Thanks!

          Very nice! Could you explain the wordplay for 2D and 5D though?

            2D: First nation (another phrase for a Native American tribe, the def) Sail (jib, a type of sail) by O (ocean can be abbreviated to O) WA (the outer letters, the "shores" of (W)onga-wong(A)
            5D: Chinese central body = N (the central letter, "body" of the word chinese) pursues (comes after) low (moo) and an earth orbiter is the moon.
