Sailor away, here and there (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

about

'here and there' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'sailor away' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'away' becomes 'out' (similar in meaning).
'ab'+'out'='ABOUT'

(Other definitions for about that I've seen before include "Encompassing" , "Concerning; approximately" , "'All - - Eve' (film)" , "Concerned with" , "Concerning (something)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
