OK - where to start...

The straightforward ones first. Lex, Cheryl - good calls

Remi, Cheryl - given my past record, a very reasonable question to ask. But, yes it is 9, although schoONEr gets a consolation prize

Lady K - it fits the length and pretty well fits the clue, so I'll go with it. (I had paRAKEet)
