[dave1948]

Thank you again Danny.

Any thoughts on sea stack /

[dave1948]

I think Sea Stack is right

PS I asked a question last week Scorpiojo and Captain2 were driven to drink by it. The answer given was Baal as suggested by me.

[dannyk13]

I can see tack being change course , but can't parse the needles bit.

[emeritus]

The Needles are Sea Stacks

[dannyk13]

Doh, just got it The Needles are stone stacks in the sea.

[JJ109]

The Needles off the South Coast re sea stacks

As it is a downwards clue "seas" for oceans are "north" of tack

[dave1948]

Thank you all for your explanations.
