Where to find sailors working when lots of tourists are around (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
high season
'where to find sailors working when lots' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'tourists are around' is the wordplay.
'tourists' becomes 'highseas' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'are' becomes 'gone' (going is a kind of being).
'around' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'gone' is 'on'.
'highseas'+'on'='HIGH SEASON'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for high season that I've seen is " peak tourist period".)
