Strands #141
“Make waves”

Hi Strands fans. Another easy one today. I didn't know one of the words, but given it's only four letters long and was almost in a straight line, my vocabulary is now a little larger than it was ten minutes ago!
When I saw the theme of "Make waves", I immediately figured out this was going to be about water somehow. I was lucky enough to spot KAYAK in an 'L' shape on the right-hand side, which gave me a good steer.
Right next to it was PADDLEBOARD, and underneath it was CANOE. It doesn't take a genius to make the link between the three words, and sure enough, I was able to spell WATERCRAFT from top to bottom for the spangram, neatly dividing the board in two.
The second half was a bit more of a struggle, until I spelt out DINGY dividing it into two. As mentioned, I'm not familiar with a DORY, but it was the only option below. At the top, ALDNOOG took a little decoding, but with a bit of trial and error I managed it: GONDOLA!
